The race for a vaccine is won… Or is it?
When a young lawyer, Ben Louviere, meets a doctor, Sumiko Honda, at a scientific conference in Washington DC, his mission is to shut her up.
The company they work for has a breakthrough to announce: a new vaccine to protect millions from disease. After a giant medical trial finds it safe and effective, the shot’s all set for government approval. Only ten days are left before it’s licensed.
But there’s trouble in San Francisco at the trial's flagship research center, where Dr. Honda complains of patients going missing. So the company sends Louviere on a special assignment: to keep her quiet—one way or another.
In a rollercoaster voyage through deception, sex, and death, award-winning investigative reporter Brian Deer introduces a character for our time: a hot, smart, but ethically challenged man. The question: which path will he choose?
“From the moment I ‘met’ him, standing on the corner, sweating through his Donna Karan suit, I knew he would make for great reading. And I was right.”—Claire Wachtel
