Praise for Lori Andrews and Sequence

"Andrews clearly knows her subject matter.... The novel generates plenty of excitement and should be recommended to fans of forensic-based thrillers in the Reichs and Cornwall mold."
---Booklist

"Alex is a fabulous protagonist, a beautiful, brilliant woman who tempers her toughness with a hidden emotional side. The science of genetics is temperately discussed, never overwhelming the balance of this expertly crafted mystery."
---Romantic Times BOOKreviews

"Sequence is a cutting-edge forensic thriller with a smart, edgy female protagonist."
---Chuck Hogan, author of Prince of Thieves

"Sequence is fast-paced and fascinating, the perfect combination of modern genetics and a beguiling investigator who traces her lineage right back to Sam Spade. You can't ask for anything more: Sequence is fun and important, too."
---Craig Nova, author of Cruisers

"Sequence is a marvelous, whip-smart thriller with a twist---a double helix sort of twist, that is. In Alexandra Blake, a brilliant and resolute D.C. geneticist with a taste for old cars and major commitment issues, Andrews has given us a protagonist who already feels like an old friend. Here's hoping she's with us for a long, long time."
---Dylan Schaffer, author of the Misdemeanor Man mysteries

"Sequence is a great combination of interesting science and likable characters."
---Elizabeth Becka, author of Trace Evidence
