Imagine: You've just found out you have nine brothers. Identical to you in every way. Except for the gene that made one of them a killer--
Artie Singleton's mother was dead. But among her possessions lay a letter. And inside was a secret that would shatter her son's world: In 1963, a shocking experiment at a famous fertility clinic had cloned ten identical male children from a single donor embryo. Artie Singleton was one of them.
Artie, a successful San Francisco entrepreneur, is now searching for his nine brothers. He assumes they will look just like him. But Artie finds some things he didn't expect: a sociopath among the clones determined to kill off the others--and a terrifying truth about their gene pool that could spell Artie's doom, or give him the cunning to stay alive.

Review:
Arnie Singleton would appear to have a wonderful life. He's 28 and owns a comic book and CD-ROM shop in San Francisco that has suddenly become a hot hangout. Then Arnie learns a disturbing fact: he is one of 10 genetically identical clones. Not only that, but somebody is killing off his siblings and making their deaths look like suicides. In Robert A. Burton's energetic, thoughtful thriller, written in a brisk and funny style that makes Ira Levin's similarly themed The Boys from Brazil play like a Wagnerian tragedy, Arnie and two of his remaining brothers set out to uncover the secrets of their strange birthright. Burton's first medical thriller, the equally engaging Final Therapy, is available in paperback.
