Publisher's summary

Forensic genealogist Morton Farrier agrees to take on a case to identify the biological mother of three foundlings, abandoned in shop doorways as newborn babies in the 1970s. He has just one thing with which to begin his investigation: the three women’s DNA, one of whom is his half-aunt.

With just six days of research time available to him, his investigation uncovers some shocking revelations and troubling links to his own grandfather, and Morton finds that for the first time in his career, he is advising his clients not to read his concluding report.

This is the ninth novel in the Morton Farrier genealogical crime mystery series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.

Another Exciting Job for Morton!

I have read all of Nathan’s book and have truly enjoyed each one! This one made me laugh so many times and yet it was very suspenseful at times as well! I hated putting it down. I wanted to keep reading! I’d recommend it to anyone, even if they weren’t into genealogy! I love the books being on Audible! It helps me tremendously! Thank you for entertaining me. I can’t wait for the next book!

Great story!

Another great story in this series. I’m getting used to the narrator’s terrible American accent lol

I really enjoyed this book. It kept my interest, and I finished it in 2 days. I even tried some of the techniques he mentioned for my own ancestry research.

Best book yet in this series!

This is the best of the Morton Farrier works. There is more interesring genealogy work than wver and the story line takes many great twists and turns. The way the author switches back-and-forth in time is perfect in developing the story. The reader does an excellent job of bringing this book to life.

DNA of a prostitute

Don’t you wonder what might happen if your DNA related you to a prostitute? Great book. I hope he never retires!
