Description
In this, the third book in the Grace Farrington DNA mystery series, Grace is returning from winning the prestigious Guru award, when she finds Oyster River Harbor Research is being picketed by Anti-Genetic Engineering protestors. Her rival, Dr. Huang Wong, has signed a research grant with a conglomerate run by the handsome, wealthy bachelor Axel Jensen. C.E.O. of Humanity's Harvest, Axel has a reputation for marrying brainy women and is under the impression that his generous contract also includes Grace. Tension is building up with the demonstrators, as Grace and the other researchers start getting anonymous death threats. These threats are ignored until a body is found floating in the Connecticut harbor. Humanity's Harvest tries to cool things off with a December outdoor-in-the-snow bar-be-que, while Grace is hunting for traces of the elusive "food for the Incan Lord God" in the University Museum. In New Haven, she stumbles on to an intriguing DNA puzzle left over from the Conquistadors conquering of Peru. Can even Grace solve it all before the next murder?

Person
Descended from generations of Tarot card readers (four that we know of), Lynn Marron has a wide range of interests: travel, genetics, camp cooking, psychometry, painting, science fiction, horses and wild animals, the supernatural world, historical reenacting, weapons of all kinds, miniatures, sailing ships and swimming, all of which manages to burst forth in her books. Lynn has written comic book scripts, short stories, radio plays, television scripts, and novels. Reading that for a story in Fantasy and Science Fiction she had been nominated at the first level for a Nebula award, she hyperventilated for the only time in her life-keep that in mind if you ever decide to nominate her for a Hugo or Edgar! Trying to carve out time for writing, Lynn spent years as a Permanent Temporary, exposing her to: all sorts of jobs (Entenmann's Cake Pusher); and people (the guy, who comes out of his office, finding his secretary passed out on the floor, just jumped over her and kept on walking to lunch); and locations (working in places ranging from a two hundred and fifty year old flour mill to the World Trade Center). Now writing almost daily at home, she lives in Connecticut, with her computer geek husband, Lenny Bloom, and their two fifteen-year-olds, who refuse to allow their names to be connected with this latest humiliation (but it's George and Philip). Her goldfish don't care if she uses their names, they are Lucky, Beluga, Splash and Jazz (But Jazz is missing-plot for another mystery book?) You can contact her at lynn@lynnmarron.com.
