Doctor Charles Martel turned to research when his wife died of cancer and he wanted to know why. Then his world is shattered for the second time. His sick daughter is admitted to hospital: his research project is cancelled. Suddenly he's a man fighting against the odds.
Against doctors who want to treat his daughter's leukemia the wrong way. Against a research institute that puts profits before ethics.
Odds enough to turn a responsible citizen into a desperate criminal . . . Doctor and author Robin Cook is widely credited with introducing the word 'medical' to the thriller genre, and over twenty years after the publication of his breakthrough novel, Coma, he continues to dominate the category he created. Cook has successfully combined medical fact with fiction to produce over twenty-eight international bestsellers, including Outbreak (1987), Terminal (1993), Contagion (1996), Chromosome 6 (1997) and, most recently, Cure (2010).
