 Well, I thought when i picked the book that I hadn't finished it the last time I picked it up!

I read it entirely this time, realizing when I finished it that I had read it entirely the first time.

So, you might think that because I didn't remember that I had read it the first around, that it is not a good novel.

Well, actually it is really not that bad. It is actually pretty good considering that fact that you are left at the end with the feeling that Cook did not finish to write it. I think that 100 pages are missing! But I liked it a little though, if not I would not have read it in five days!

The story starts with the killing of Carlo Franconi, an ex mafioso who is going to give all his former friends to the prosecutor.

The police is chased by the mayor, the DA's office, the media.

Then, his corpse disappears from the morgue. Now the NYC morgue is in a pretty bad position. No x-rays were taken before the corpse was abducted for reasons unknown.

Laurie, Jack and Lou are trying their best to find out how Franconi's body disappeared.

So why is it called Chromosome 6? Well because Franconi has had a liver transplant, actually a transgenic transplant.

Jack is dumped with a floater, whose been shot several times and he has a hard time finding anything about it because the floater had a transplant but none of the organizations know about it.

Laurie is trying to find out how the corpse has been taken from the morgue under the nose of all the people there.

Lou is trying both to find out how the corpse found its way out of the morgue and who commdandeered the execution of Franconi.

Kevin Marshall and Melanie and Candace, the little doctors behind Chromosome 6, are trying to find what is happening to the carriers of the future transplant organs.

It is a nice thriller and you travel from the US to Africa.

But like I said when you put it down finally, you have the sense that something is missing.

I advise you to pick it up at the library.
