Skyler was a test tube subject, and the Lab was his home. Carefully attended to by physicians, he never had a reason to leave the Lab. Until he found one of the other test subjects dead--with his heart removed.

Jude was a journalist, and New York was his beat. Always looking for a good story, he was intrigued by the police's latest discovery. A murder victim--with its face and fingers removed.

Skyler escapes. Jude investigates. And now, united by the mysteries of science and murder, the two men are forced to make sense of one startling, seemingly impossible fact...

They share the same face. THE EXPERIMENT is out of control.
