When the Wind Blows by James Patterson

Hidden in Colarado, America is a lab studying genetics and conducting illegal experiments on humans and animals. This was Max's home and now she's finally escaped with her brother Matthew but the guards are searching for them and they know that when they're found, they'll be put to sleep like all the other rejects. Meanwhile, FBI agent Tom Brennan, under the name of Kit Harrison has arrived in Colarado for leads on the "Human experiments" case that he is stubbornly continuing to investigate even though he's been pulled off the job and is supposed to be in Nantucket, chilling out after the plane crash incident in which his family died that is haunting him.

He meets Frannie O'neill, a veterinarian who abhors hunters, ex-wife of the deceased Dr.David Mekin who specialised in Embryology and although he develops a crush on her, he has no idea whether she might be a murderer, involved in the diabolical plans of an outlaw group of scientists who have created specimens that are the first steps to a whole new era of human evolution. When they capture the winged girl that Frannie has glimpsed before, Max shows them the horrific deeds that have taken place at what she calls "The School" and their lives are irrevocably turned upside down. The scientists are killing all the witnesses. Mekin was one, so was Frank McDonnough and loads of other people involved. Now they are as well.

This novel is enjoyable to read since the chapters are short and fast-paced and the plot has twists that keeps the suspense running throughout.
