Suppose a cure for cancer was finally discovered, a cure that could save the lives of millions-and render much of todays medical and pharmaceutical industry obsolete? How far would the worlds 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 his mangled body is even cold, powerful forces are conspiring to seize control of the top-secret cure, either to reap the potential riches at stake-or else to 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.
