Title: Project CainAuthor: Geoffrey Girard
Series: N/A
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Expected Publication: September 3, 2013
Description:
Fifteen-year-old Jeff Jacobson had never heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer who brutally murdered seventeen people more than twenty years ago. But Jeff’s life changes forever when the man he’d thought was his father hands him a government file telling him he was constructed in a laboratory only seven years ago, part of a top-secret government cloning experiment called ‘Project CAIN’.
There, he was created entirely from Jeffrey Dahmer’s DNA. There are others like Jeff—those genetically engineered directly from the most notorious murderers of all time: The Son of Sam, The Boston Strangler, Ted Bundy . . . even other Jeffrey Dahmer clones. Some raised, like Jeff, in caring family environments; others within homes that mimicked the horrific early lives of the men they were created from.
When the most dangerous boys are set free by the geneticist who created them, the summer of killing begins. Worse, these same teens now hold a secret weapon even more dangerous than the terrible evil they carry within. Only Jeff can help track the clones down before it’s too late. But will he catch the ‘monsters’ before becoming one himself?

Why I'm Waiting:
I'm actually really interested in serial killers. That sounds pretty bad, I'm just interested in the why, I don't really like what they do. The creation of these children from serial killers' DNA sounds like an interesting aspect and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this one plays out. The cover for this one is pretty cool as well.
