Past Due (Detective Inspector Carol Ashton Mystery, Book 10)

201 pp. Reproductive specialist Dr. Brin Halstead has made quite a name for himself. To admirers the charismatic doctor is a visionary, his Halstead Clinic at the cutting edge of genetic research, but a breaking scandal has begun to paint a very different picture of a dangerous fanatic playing with his patients' lives - and the laws of nature. When Halstead's body is discovered, brutally bludgeoned and burnt beyond recognition, Detective Inspector Carol Ashton must follow the bloody trail down a slippery slope of greed, corruption, and murder.
