Synopsis
This tale centers around a twelve year old girl who has developed a form of leukemia. Her father, a doctor/scientist who has studied and searched for a cure for cancer for the past nine years following the death of his wife to leukemia, is suddenly having to deal with his nightmares again. He has since remarried, but soon conflicts arise between the father and his wife, oldest son, and the doctors who prescribe chemotherapy treatment for his daughter. The father soon discovers the cause of his daughter's leukemia. That source was also the cause of another child's fatal disease. The father subsequently tries to bring the culprits to justice and continue his work while also trying to find his own cure for his daughter. The believability factor is strained a bit here.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Minor creasing on spine and some very slight edgewear. Charles Martel is a doctor who turned to research when his wife died of cancer and he wanted to know why. Then his world is shattered a second time. His daughter is sick of a fever. His research project is terminated. Suddenly he's a man against odds. Against doctors wanting to treat his daughter's leukemia the wrong way. Against a research institute that puts profits before ethics. Against a recycling plant that's dumping cancer-causing benzene in the rivers. Odds enough to turn a responsible citizen into a desperate criminal. Odds too high for any man who hasn't got his daughter's life on the line. Book. Seller Inventory # 002075
