She Could Save Millions, or Save Herself

She just needs a little longer. She's really close. Dr. Rebecca Jackson, a medical researcher, stands on the verge of a breakthrough that will transform medicine. But she soon discovers the reason behind the miraculous progress in her research, and it leaves her with a nearly impossible choice . . . and little time to decide. More than her research is at stake. And more threatens it than this latest revelation. Something she's tried hard to cover up. There is a high cost to some things in medicine and it's not always the patient who pays. Can Rebecca find the faith and wisdom she needs to make the right call? The clock is ticking and the pressure is on.

      Dr. Rebecca Jackson, on the brink of creating the world's next wonder drug, goes on a PR trip to Kenya, where she is abducted and shown the deadly effects that her company's drugs have had on the village children. Becca is freed, but the impact of what she has seen weighs heavily upon her. She redoubles her investigative efforts with unusually remarkable results. The sudden onset of seizures and headaches that began as she was leaving Kenya continue to become more violent until she lands in the hospital with a diagnosis of a potentially lethal brain tumor--the reason for her burst of new research abilities. Racing against time, Becca tries to fix the issues with the wonder drug before the tumor in her brain kills her. VERDICT General surgeon Kraus ("An Open Heart; A Heartbeat Away") offers a gripping insider's look at the pharmaceutical industry, its researchers, the money at stake, and what people will do to get it and the fame that it brings. This emotionally charged tale will win over medical drama and Tess Gerritsen fans.
