Eighteen-year-old Eli Samuels, whose once-vibrant mother is losing her long battle with the ravages of Huntington's disease, is hired at the Wyatt Transgenics Lab.  Eli's father is dead set against the job because of a secret he harbors.

Opinion: 

Double Helix is an interesting mystery with a science theme and a little romance thrown in.  I was not sure why the romance was necessary forthe storyline.  It seemed excessive and to detract from the story and mystery.  But overall, I found Double Helix to be a worthwhile read, especially today where there is an increasing interest in genetics and DNA.
