The Perfect Clone
Author: M. L. Stephens
Expected Release Date: 10/2012
Description:
Laura wants to have her husband’s child. The fact that he’s dead is only a minor setback. She’ll get what she wants, it’s just a matter of how.
Intrigued by Laura’s progress in the field of human cloning, Richard Avery steps up to the plate and offers the use of his secret lab facilities. Before he’ll allow her to clone a child of her own, she must first create one perfect clone for him- using DNA samples from the Shroud of Turin.
Jumping in head first, Laura’s work is successful and the shroud’s cloned embryos are implanted into a virgin surrogate. Nine months later, twins are born. One is deemed unworthy, the other non-viable. Richard demands that she continue her work. He wants a perfect clone…one that he can ‘use’. There’s no time to celebrate her accomplishment before finding out that Richard has morbid plans for her creations. He wants a clone that he can use to rule mankind under a New World Order. Unable to leave the Society’s compound without risking her life, Laura turns to her unlikely friends for help. Ghosts and angels might be the only ones who can guide her safely out of this.

Author Bio: (grabbed from Google +)
I'm
just an every day Mrs. Joe, except that I have an unshakable fetish for
a good mystery and anything paranormal, along with an insatiable
appetite for coffee and travel. When I'm not reading the novels of so
many great authors, I'm creating stories of my own. My family keeps me
grounded, my pets keep me jumping, my friends keep me focused, and it
all happens in Texas!

I think the cover is dark and creepy with a really Gothic feel - which I absolutely love! It makes the book feel all the more mysterious. I really like all the odd components that come together - the ethereal look of the girl (and her stance), the key necklace she's holding, the bird, the moonlight, those angel statues... very cool!

This sounds like an interesting read. And I like the cover.
