[edit] Plot Summary
When Lt.Eve Dallas and Detective Delia Peabody are called to the murder scene of Dr. Wilfred B. Icove Sr., things already don't make sense. Dr. Icove was called a saint of plastic surgery, and no one, not even his son Wilfred Icove Jr., benefits from his death. What's even stranger are the security disks that reveal a woman walking into Icove's office, and killing him with a single stab in the heart.
When Dr. Icove Jr. is killed in the same way, Eve begins looking for a mystery woman, while her husband Roarke begins investigating an organization run by the Icoves and their partner, Dr. Jonah Wilson. Soon, they uncover a secret world, created by the Icoves and Wilson. A world of children by design, where people aren't born, but cloned.
