This week, I'm waiting on...
Project Cain by Geoffrey Girard. Here's what Goodreads has to say: Fifteen-year-old Jeff
Jacobson had never heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer
who brutally murdered seventeen people more than twenty years ago. But
Jeff’s life changes forever when the man he’d thought was his father
hands him a government file telling him he was constructed in a
laboratory only seven years ago, part of a top-secret government cloning
experiment called ‘Project CAIN’.
There, he was created entirely
from Jeffrey Dahmer’s DNA. There are others like Jeff—those genetically
engineered directly from the most notorious murderers of all time: The
Son of Sam, The Boston Strangler, Ted Bundy . . . even other Jeffrey
Dahmer clones. Some raised, like Jeff, in caring family environments;
others within homes that mimicked the horrific early lives of the men
they were created from.
When the most dangerous boys are set free
by the geneticist who created them, the summer of killing begins.
Worse, these same teens now hold a secret weapon even more dangerous
than the terrible evil they carry within. Only Jeff can help track the
clones down before it’s too late. But will he catch the ‘monsters’
before becoming one himself?
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

What a dark summary yet immediately interesting with its moral implications and the questions it poses.
