Book Description Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Printing. Minor shelf and edge wear. ; Nice tight copy, no names or marks inside, appears unread and near as new. Cover design uncredited. Very heavy book and priced accordingly. ; 640 pages; Stuart Ressler, a brilliant young molecular biologist, sets out in 1957 to crack the genetic code. But along the way he becomes sidetracked by other codes - social, moral, musical, and spiritual - and falls in love with another, married, member of his research team. Years later a young man and woman team up to investigate another scientific mystery - why did the eminently promising Ressler drop out of the world of science, only to reappear much later in a dead-end computer job?.
