Sinopsis

âÇÖFatal ConsequencesâÇÖ was originally published as âÇÖMurderous TraitsâÇÖ.Quincentenarian John Andrews is in a state of shock. Only weeks after meeting his long-lost daughter Paola for the first time, almost five hundred years after she was born in Naples, she has been abducted and the brutally murdered body of an unidentified woman has been found in the Cape Cod house where Paola lived.To add to JohnâÇÖs confusion, DNA and eye-witness evidence show the culprit behind the crimes is JohnâÇÖs oldest friend Jacques Bognard, the urbane seafarer from seventeenth-century Marseille.While Jacques protests his innocence and the police build their case, it takes the expertise of Claudia Reid, the feisty forensic geneticist who helped to unravel the code behind John AndrewsâÇÖ centuries-old secret, to explain the paradox.But why has Paola been abducted and by whom? Remembering his own close brush with death at the hands of the ruthless big pharma magnate Wallingford Peterson,áJohn is convinced that PaolaâÇÖs life is in imminent danger. And given that she has disappeared without trace, someone with resources as extensive as PetersonâÇÖs were must be responsible.Meanwhile, Paola is sequestered on a remote estate thousands of miles away where her captor attempts to beguile her. Determined to outwit him, Paola draws on murderous skills acquired over the centuries while at the same time facing the hard truth about herself.
