This is a novel that invites many descriptions: a thriller with erotic undercurrents; a study about where today's technology will take us in the near future; a discussion about the definition of identity; and, at the same time, a story about relentless revenge.
In 2059, three female clones, named after their prototype Lady J, escape from the Scottish research centre where they have been brought to life a decade earlier. Their bodies are governed by one single mind, which is determined on avenging the callous experiments that Dr Galmuth, responsible for the Lady J clones' in-vitro-births, has performed out of greed.
The clones' flight through England eventually brings them ... no, her ... to London, where they - no, she - starts a killing spree with the intention of letting Dr Galmuth slowly face the appropriate consequences for the treatment of his laboratory-developed progeny who are growing three times faster than other humans. Provoked by Dr Galmuth's actions, she evolves into a prodigious murderess with the final goal of getting him to pay the highest personal price possible.
Besides being a thrilling story where it's hard to tell whether you agree with the assassin or those who hunt her, this futuristic novel - based on realistic, present-day technological research combined with a psychological study of the human psyche - is a mind-boggling tale about what the future may have in store for us.

"A blend of near-future science fiction thriller and literary speculation, Kim Ekemar's latest release revolves around three female clones who escape the torture of their research facility prison to enact revenge on the doctor who created them.
After being systematically experimented on by researchers in an effort to improve and sell the clone technology to unethical governments for military usages, the clones vow to escape their confinement.
