Honeydew

A Faustian pact comes home to roost.

Dr Stephen Walford, a successful research scientist, and his team, have developed a novel method for genetic engineering bacteria that live in greenfly. Desperate for additional research funding, he makes an agreement, with LunaBio, a Biotech company, providing generous funding, on the condition he carries out a secret side project for the company.

Stephen’s Research Fellow, Dr Andy Florescu, convinces him that it would be unethical to deliver the unknown genetically modified (GM) organism to the company, and they agree to analyse it to find out what it contains.

Before that can happen though, Stephen’s sudden death, and the theft of the GM material from the laboratory, prompt Andy to go into hiding, in fear for his own life.

Is the GM organism a global threat? Who was responsible for stealing it from the laboratory? And where is Andy Florescu?

With an assassin still at large, the search for Andy by two young women, Vanessa Byrne and Awusi Boakye, becomes a hazardous mission.
