The Catalyst is the latest book from author Andrea Goyan. It is the first book in the Kat Crocker series.
When human bodies are found with scales and tails, DNA Detector Kat Crocker is tasked with determining what caused the victims’ abnormalities.
She’s teamed with Detective Greg Prescott, a partnership that neither of them is happy about. Prescott doesn’t believe she should be on a murder investigation, while she blames his father for mishandling the investigation into her father’s death years earlier.
But this is the opportunity Kat’s been waiting for. She wants to prove her DNA Detector—a device created by her late father—can revolutionize police investigations.
Then her device produces impossible results.
The first victim’s DNA is no longer entirely human.
When a second victim appears hours later with similar unimaginable results, Kat and Greg race to find the cause before more people die.
But even as they hunt for answers, someone hunts Kat. Unbeknownst to her, the people behind the mutations need Kat—at least a piece of her—to complete their plan. They will stop at nothing to get what they need.
Kat’s trail leads to a newly released VR game powered by impossible genetics—and to the scientist behind the mutations. The man who has put her in danger. The person she trusted more than anyone in the world.
The Catalyst is an intriguing read. It’s your classic detective crime novel with one very original twist. All the human bodies are turning up as mutants.
Kat is an interesting character and I enjoyed the reluctance to work with Greg and the backstory she had with his father.
It’s a book that keeps you guessing and has lots of layers.
Looking forward to hopefully reading more about Kat in future books.
