Plot Summary of Life Switch
"This is a fast-paced action thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end. A beautiful seductress, Gena Cupel, Madam of a New Orleans's bordello claims to be the renowned geneticist, Dr. Mildred Gant, who had vanished five years before. Is she the once, plain Jane, spinster scientist who had discovered the ultimate biological cure for human disease? If so, why did she mysteriously disappear at the time she was about to present her brilliant medical discovery to the world?
"
