The Third Twin by Ken Follett
ISBN: 0679452729 - Abridged 4 Cassettes 4 Hours
Read by Diane Venora

Jeannie Ferrami, a brilliant young research scientist studying the genetic components of aggression, makes a startling discovery. Using a restricted FBI database, she locates two men who appear to be identical twins: Steve, a law student, and Dennis, a convicted murderer. Yet they were born on different days, to different mothers, in hospitals hundreds of miles apart.

When she delves into their backgrounds, forces as powerful as the Pentagon and The New York Times take notice. And, the more she learns, the worse it gets. When her life is threatened, she realizes that there is much more than just a scientific problem facing her. Unwittingly, she has stumbled upon evidence of a conspiracy involving a top biotech company, right-wing politicians, and her own university. Their aim is as shocking as it is technologically possible in this era of genetic manipulation: the reshaping of American society according to their own reactionary principles.
