“I cannot make sense of these data of Sine. I have never seen so much woman in any sample.” John Djerassi, the genomic profiling expert, looked pondering at Samuel. It should have been an easy case for Samuel, a New York traffic police officer. “Rapid closure with a perfect report, which can support your resume” was the guidance from his boss, Jack, in the New York Police Department when he was asked to figure out what happened with Sine—a wonderful and attractive woman—and what made her run confused around the streets of New York, be arrested, and brought to the police station. And, indeed, it first appeared simple as Samuel interrogated Sine, until Sine died a sudden and violent death that led Samuel into a hugely complicated case with scrupulous utilization of modern biological sciences at its core. Still, unwinding the case, Samuel also found unpresented beauty and love and learned how love is not a lottery, but our faith.

"I cannot make sense of this data from Sine," said John Djerassi, the genomic profiling expert. He looked at Samuel, slightly puzzled. "I have never seen so much woman in any sample before." He gave a lopsided smile and continued, "Looks like the perfect woman."*****It should have been an easy case for Samuel, a New York traffic police officer. His boss told him to just get rapid closure with a perfect report, something to bolster his résumé for a transfer to a better post. But when Sine died a violent death, Samuel suddenly finds himself embroiled in a scheme far beyond anything he ever dreamed—murder, human trafficking, and more, a sinister use of modern biological sciences to unleash a viral war leading to the extinction of all people.
