Following her grandmother’s death, Lena Johnson is left carrying grief, debt and too much responsibility. Luckily – is it? – a letter arrives inviting her to become a medical test subject in a top-secret project. The pay and the benefits are too good to pass up, so Lena signs the dotted line, drops out of college and lies to everyone about her new job. For a while, things are weird but OK – until they’re weird and distinctly not OK. Haunted by eugenicist theories and the real conspiracies of the American scientific establishment, this chilling and startling debut is unputdownable.
