Leaving The Bones Behind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781466234376)

Confined to a pod-like room in an Alzheimer's care facility, Oliver Mathews is in the fight of his life, racing to preserve his legacy in the form of one final gift for his son and daughter. Yet laid against the poignant backdrop of Oliver's darkening days is a deadly tale of medical intrigue, when a raging conflict of ethics among leading scientists escalates to murder and the ultimate act of preservation-a clone called Carpo. Leaving the Bones Behind is a poignant, thought-provoking, and utterly compelling new novel that symbolically merges one man's struggle with the moral ambiguity of cutting-edge science. Readers will be hooked from the first page, but nothing will prepare them for the twist at the end: a final clue leading to the identity of the storyteller. Guess correctly, and you'll enjoy a whole new new perspective on the bones Oliver leaves behind. 100% of author royalties from the paperback sales of Gary Watson's three books go to the Elephant Crisis Fund set up by Wildlife Conservation Network and Save the Elephants. This innovative fund operates using a no-overhead model allowing 100% of all funds raised to go directly to the best, most urgent, and most innovative actions on the ground by organizations great and small to stop the killing of elephants throughout Africa.
