Description
It's the late postgenomic era and the loss of habitable landmass has led to severe limits on human birth. In the drive for species perfection, fewer and fewer can breed, and the long-simmering tension between the reproductive 'haves' and 'have nots' is coming to the boil.
A young woman's body is found, and Detective Cooper-Clark (Coop to his friends) thinks it a routine case: yet another victim of the 'red-dirt cocktail' of drugs, disease and despair. But when he discovers the female had recently miscarried an illegal pregnancy, the case turns anything but routine.
Convinced the lost baby is the key to the murder, Coop finds himself sucked into the dirty waters of state-sponsored eugenics and to the heart of an existential struggle for control over human reproduction.
