Synopsis

Dr. Evelyn Caldwell is an award-winning geneticist whose life's work is human cloning — which makes it a special kind of betrayal to learn that her husband, Nathan, used her own method to grow Martine: a softer, more obedient copy of Evelyn, built to be the wife he actually wanted.

When Martine turns up needing help with a very dead Nathan, the two women — original and echo — are forced into a wary, grisly alliance. A sharp, unsettling novel about identity, control, and what we owe the things we make.
