- Synopsis
- [from inside flaps] "A brilliant Harvard Ph.D. candidate discovers a cure for cancer--a discovery that pits him against his mentor and the FBI in a cross-country race against time. Jack Collier Is a brilliant but troubled Ph.D. candidate at Harvard--a kid from the wrong side of the tracks. But he has an idea that will make medical history: train Strep A bacteria (also known as flesh-eating bacteria) to attack tumors rather than healthy flesh. When his mentor, a renowned professor, steals Jack's idea and sets him up to get expelled from Harvard, Jack is nearly destroyed. All he knows is that he has to put as much distance between himself and Harvard as possible. And his first priority is to find the girlfriend who left him--the one person who can most benefit from Jack's medical discovery. But as Jack travels across the country, he unknowingly leaves a wake of death in his tracks, because something terrible has happened with the cure--something Jack could never have predicted. A sympathetic FBI agent wants to find Jack and stop him--before those who want to see his genius silenced find him first. Filled with groundbreaking medical and scientific details, Holden Scott's latest thriller is his most fascinating and imaginative yet."
