Jon McGoran (Get this book)McGoran impressively integrates concerns about genetically modified produce with an action-filled storyline and fleshed-out characters. Det. Doyle Carrick of the Philadelphia PD, suspended after putting a gun to a drug dealer's head to coerce information, uses his mandatory vacation to take residence in the house he's inherited from his recently deceased parents in the rural community of Dunston, Pa. The disturbing, but scientifically plausible, secret at the heart of the bad guys' schemes is an original one, and McGoran makes the most of it.--Publisher's Weekly
