The Doll Harvest
The Doll Harvest, from Ron Savage, will release in the northern summer, 2016.
Blurb
The twins say I’m
perfect and rare. “We had to look very hard to find someone like you.” I am admired.
On the steps of her quiet brownstone,
Nettie Harnell smells the sickly sweet scent of chloroform moments before she
is abducted. When she awakens she’s in a
dark basement chained to a post with nothing but memories of her mother and
Paris to keep her company while she awaits her fate.
There is a shortage of medical donors in Philly, not that Carl and Vern Wachoski consider it a problem--it’s another business opportunity. Taking without permission has turned out to be incredibly lucrative, especially with Carl’s motto being “waste not, want not.” But Carl’s arrogance could cost them everything if they don’t watch out.
Dutch Harnell is no stranger to depression since the tragic and violent death of his wife and son eleven years before. Now it’s time for Dutch to pull himself together to save his one remaining family member, Nettie. With the help of Kapil Talpur, a young graduate student who witnessed the abduction, he finds himself drawn deeper into a world of greed and intrigue, where they can trust no one but themselves.
