I am delighted and excited to have Dean Krystek of the Wordlink agency representing The LUPIN Gene. I owe a lot of folks a lot of thanks in getting the book this far, but it’s Dean’s experience, knowledge of the industry, investment in my career, and his insight into the work that makes it so apparent, I couldn’t be in better hands.
About The LUPIN Gene:
You are the next step in human evolution – brilliant, perfect, flawless in form and function, the true story behind history’s most significant events – so why is someone trying to kill you?
That’s the question behind The LUPIN Gene as troubled, brilliant Washington DC homicide detective, Maya Dominguez, finds herself investigating not one, but two sets of serial killings with apparently supernatural characteristics. One involves gang members killed by blunt force trauma beyond any human power. The other is characterized by charcoal-textured corpses metabolically boiled to desiccation with a mangled silver bullet in each chest. As the investigation continues, Maya discovers a race of beings, the Lupin, who are the real story behind human history, from the Battle of Hastings to the Crusades to the D-Day landing. The result of a pristine genetic mutation they are – physically perfect, athletically endowed, and impervious to disease, aging, and injury save one fatal vulnerability that has been used to exploit and enslave them throughout time. Occupying the highest levels of business, professional sports, and Hollywood, they are a secret society surviving by one rule. “Never reveal our true nature.” Now it is up to Maya to put a stop to their murderers, or else risk losing everything, including her one true love, who is one of them. I like to think of it as Outlander meets The Desert Saint. On a greater and, in my opinion, more interesting level this is a story of racism, class, and oppression that is better represented by the multicultural, historical vignettes telling the Lupin backstory.
