The Cure - Taschenbuch

Suppose a cure for cancer was finally discovered, a cure that could save the lives of millions--and render much of today's medical and pharmaceutical industry obsolete? How far would the world's movers and shakers go to control this miraculous panacea--or destroy it? Controversial oncologist Dr. Anson Lunt dies in a suspicious plane crash, just as one of his researchers develops what appears to be a "magic bullet" against all forms of cancer. Before Lunt's mangled body grows cold, powerful forces conspire to seize control of the top-secret cure. Some wish to reap the potential riches at stake; others to protect themselves and suppress the discovery entirely. Industrial espionage, blackmail, and murder are only a few of the ruthless strategies employed in the no-holds-barred battle for . . . "The Cure." A gripping tale of cutting-edge medicine and international intrigue, "The Cure" exposes the dark underside of the modern medical establishment.
