The Twisted Ladder

Two young men, Kit Ganderton and Dougie Bourgore, born over one hundred and seven years apart, face the vicissitudes of life without knowing what connects them. Claris Feutrill tries to establish the relationship using DNA traces and genealogy research. Warwick Faulkner strives to get Kit out of trouble, while Detective Inspector Bethany Collins realises sometimes you have 'to measure people in'.

Discovering Kit and Dougie's shared traits is a revelation for their family, friends, and supporters. The unravelling of this story proves to be complex and confusing, reflecting the DNA double helix, sometimes referred to as the 'twisted ladder'.
