Overview

If it was the only way of having a child . . . would you do it? A riveting thriller from the internationally bestselling author of the Roy Grace series.



After the tragic loss of their young son to a rare genetic disorder, John and Naomi discover they both carry a rogue gene. Having another child by conventional means is too much risk to bear.



When they find geneticist Dr. Leo Dettore it seems like the answer to their prayers. Every aspect of the child can be chosen and manufactured, from height and eye color to intelligence and sporting prowess. But realizing the danger too late, Naomi is already pregnant when they understand the nightmare world they are entering . . .



A world of perfect people.



Utterly gripping and frighteningly plausible, Perfect People is a shocking thriller about what happens when humans play God.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

'Peter James's clever page-turner Perfect People focuses not on the past but risks for the future.' The Times

'As ever, James writes beautifully, maintaining the pace with short, punchy chapters. But it's his firm grasp of the moral issues surrounding designer babies that makes Perfect People so satisfying – and so unsettling.' Guardian

'James has produced a suitably breathless fan-pleaser about accelerating evolution.' Daily Telegraph

'The ending is so horrifyingly scary that I was unable to sleep properly for several nights.' Mail on Sunday

"Perfect People is quite possibly the perfect book. . .  the only reason I actually brought this was because I am a Roy Grace fan. Had the book been written by somebody else, I may have given it a wide berth. . . .  The writing was brilliant, the tension high and the underlying ‘horrible feeling' I had didn't leave me all through the book. . . .  This is normally not the sort of book that I would read, but am truly grateful I did." —Crime Thriller Hound
