The Genehunter by Simon Kewin

Some secrets are best left buried…

Simms is a genehunter, paid to track down the DNA of the famous and infamous of history for his clients’ private collections. What they do with the DNA isn’t his problem – even if they are using it to create illegal clones.

He walks a line, pulled in many different directions at once. The law, competing genehunters, ex-lovers, religious nuts and anti-genehunter crazies. But when he works the Boneyard case he discovers that, sometimes, you have to decide which side of the line you’re on.

And when he starts to uncover the truth of his own origins he begins to question everything he is and does…

A future noir cyberpunk novel set on an Earth slowly going to hell. The Genehunter follows the adventures of Simms, genetic detective and all-round nice guy.
