A silent revolution has been unfolding recently in the science of natural medicine, bringing us so close to the answer-far too close, for some. Chromogen employee Annika Guthrie understands this more than most. Shes watched her terminally ill father add years to his life with natural supplements, and makes it her mission to turn this alternative medicine into what the medical community calls real science. Its why she joins forces with the maverick but genius cancer researcher Dr. Elliott Lindell, even though he works with Mitogenica-Chromogens fiercest competitor. Together, they formulate a cocktail of natural supplements which Annika secretly gives to patients in Chromogens latest drug trial. The cocktail works so well, it threatens to undermine Chromogens next billion dollar chemo drug, and Annikas world quickly falls apart. Her wards start curiously dying from everything but their cancer, and Dr. Lindell disappears on the eve of his most critical experiment. Annika soon finds she is the only one left who can recover what remains of Dr. Lindells work-and that she is racing against someone far larger and more deadly than her worst fears.
