Title: Body Politic Author: Glyn J.Godwin Publisher: Barbour Books ISBN: 1-586-60600-X Genre: Inspirational Suspense
When First Lady Constance Frye, mixes dirty politics with the dark side of medical research, she creates a diabolic plot that endangers all of mankind. While wearing the guise of caring about the country’s children, she pushes forward a bill that will ultimately rewrite the definition of viable life.
Dr. Avraham Hegel, a top scientist in stem cell research, discovers that the medical techniques he developed for easing the pain of research animals are being used in horrific ways he never imagined. Unable to live with the corrupted legacy of his work, he commits suicide on a lonely stretch of road between Rhode Island and the Connecticut state line. And, in doing so, he sets off a chain of events that may ultimately destroy his enemies, or provide them with the ultimate cover.
Lab assistant Amanda Collins can’t believe Dr. Hegel is dead. But when she finds the note and locker key he has left behind, Amanda must follow the doctor’s orders to the letter if she hopes to outwit those wanting to silence her.
Washington attorney Griffin Dowell isn’t fooled by the First Lady’s public face. He knows she’s nothing more than a political viper determined to get what she wants no matter the cost. When a friend is murdered and Griffin stumbles on a vicious secret authored by Constance, he puts his life on the line to unmask the truth.
Two strangers, unknown to each other, stand between mankind and the evil that will consume it. Only faith and courage will equip Amanda and Griffin for the fight of the century. Can they succeed?
Glyn Godwin has created a powerful, gripping and terrifyingly realistic tale in Body Politic. The spiritual message is subtle but compelling. This is a must read for anyone concerned about the debate over the sanctity of human life.
