This is for a paperback proof copy or PDF file. Due to the high cost of international shipping, I can only mail within the continental United States.

Here is the blurb:

Carla Turner's genetic code, future occupation and date of death have been mapped out by the government, so when her innermost desires begin to conflict with her rigidly planned life, she must suppress her true nature or risk losing everything.

Fresh out of school, Clara loathes her new assignment as a medical tech, but those who complain tend to disappear, so what can she do? Deciding to make the best of a bad situation, she works hard at her job. In the process, she develops a special talent for pulling the memories from patients with traumatic brain injuries. As her skills gain recognition from those at the top, Carla begins to make peace with her situation until the day a loved one vanishes without a trace.

Using her tech skills to dig for answers, Carla uncovers a terrible secret that challenges her loyalties and threatens her homeland.

An urban thriller with a drop of science fiction, this novel draws disturbing parallels to the present, exploring the cultural ramifications of genetic engineering in a new and frightening way.
