At the cutting edge of modern crime detection, GeneCrime uses the very latest scientific knowledge to identify, arrest, prosecute and convict Britain's worst criminals. But now the hunters are about to become the hunted with their own techniques being used in an effort to destroy them. When one of the team is murdered, Reuben doesn't suspect that this is the beginning of a concerted attack on the squad. That comes when the police discover a warning in the victim's own blood, written in the language of genetics. When another team member is murdered, Reuben is desperate to find and stop the killer. But as his investigations gather steam, he finds his career under attack. Using his scientific discovery for personal reasons, rivals in the police use this to remove him from command. Suddenly ostracized and under suspicion, he knows that he must fight this battle alone. The killing has not stopped, and the one thing that is beyond question is that Reuben is the killer's next target.
