Author: Robin Cook
Type: medical thriller
Synopsis:
A Mafia hitman, who was about to make a testinomy against his chiefs, is killed. But before the forensics can do their jobs the corpse mysteriously disappears...
Meanwhile, in Equatorial Guinea, an American scientist, who found a way to transfer part of the human DNA located on chromosome 6 to animal cells, is worried by the smoke he repeatedly saw above the small island where no man is supposed to be allowed to set foot...
Review:
A great read... With a few twists and an injection of Mythos stuff the plot could turn into a really interesting scenario. Even without changing the story at all it might be the starting point of a modern time "Eaters of the Dead"... I won't say more, don't want to spoil the fun for you
