In the second installment of the SPLICED series, sixteen-year-old
Jimi Corcoran risks her life to clear a friend's name--and uncovers the
horrific truth about one of the most powerful men in the world.
All Jimi wants is pick up the pieces of her life and move on. She never
intended to uncover a conspiracy, or become a hero for chimera rights--
she just wanted to protect her best friend, Del. But now she's a public
figure, and she can't quite shake the spotlight. . . or her suspicion
that she's being followed.
Still, when a strange chimera shows up, half-dead with nothing but an
odd hospital bracelet to identify him, of course Jimi tries to help. But
everything goes wrong-- and her friend Dr. Guzman is arrested for
murder. Desperate to prove his innocence, Jimi does some digging, and
discovers that the sick chimera came from a hospital owned by Howard
Wells. . . . The businessman who pioneered the Genetic Heritage Act,
which sought to label all chimeras as inhuman, and undeserving of basic
rights. Has he really had a change of heart?
Teaming up with her chimera friends Rex and Claudia, Jimi sets out to
investigate Wells' hospital-- but discovers the seemingly-charitable
endeavor is hiding an extensive, dark secret. To save lives and shut
down a criminal operation, Jimi and her friends will have to risk
everything-- and incur the wrath of Howard Wells himself.
Action-packed and haunting, this sequel to Spliced digs deeper into a
gritty, near-future world in which lawless science is a rich man's
game-- and Jimi and her friends are unwilling players.
This beautiful hardcover edition features a texturally embossed,
spot-gloss jacket.
