Kill the Darkness

If your mother stole you from a trash barrel, would you want to know? LUKE BRODERICK is sure he knows the answer to that question until he does . . . and then he doesn't. LAURA BRODERICK is a good woman who desperately wants a child . . . a child her husband can't give her. For years, she keeps a little white sin a secret, until a day her son can never forget. KILL THE DARKNESS is a tale of edgy medical intrigue with a sidebar of romance. Glimpses of an embryo orphanage, the infested underground of a destroyed airport, a DNA research lab, and a legendary dog named The Black Phantom, come into view. Luke, a DNA scientist, is determined to discover not only who done it, but what's been done. Hidden beneath his quiet veneer, raging rip currents surge wild with questions. Entwined in Luke's life is an orphan pup he rescues from wilderness tragedy, whose ancestral heritage is as much a mystery as his own. Can his brilliant mind get past dead ends of bitterness and unforgiveness to find happiness? Will he KILL THE DARKNESS . . . or kill the joy in his life?
