What this book is about
An early Robin Cook medical thriller (1982) in which Dr. Charles Martel, a cancer researcher, discovers that his daughter has developed leukemia — and that her cancer may be directly connected to his own work in a pharmaceutical company's lab. Pursuing this link puts him in conflict with his employer, who will stop at nothing to protect their profits. One of Cook's most personal early works.
