Fearful Symmetry

Plot

A monster foetus? In the woods adjacent to a genetic engineering laboratory? Nonsense. But the every idea excites the gutter press, threatens the reputation of a research company and provides cover for at least one murder.Fearful Symmetry's densely written, atmospheric plot is set in Brighton, its high tech offices, famous Victorian sea front and high profile gay communities. Sam Carter, a street-savvy lesbian, is the private investigator who sifts through the suspects: religious fundamentalists, gay sadists and one androgynous adolescent runaway.
