Suppose a cure for cancer was finally discovered, a cure that would render much of today's medical and pharmaceutical industry obsolete. How far would the world's movers and shakers go to control—or destroy—this miraculous panacea?

Controversial oncologist Dr. Anson Lunt dies in a suspicious plane crash just as one of his researchers develops what appears to be a "magic bullet" against all forms of cancer. Powerful forces are conspiring to seize control of the top-secret cure, either to reap the riches at stake or to suppress the discovery entirely. Industrial espionage, blackmail, and murder are only a few of the ruthless strategies employed in the no-holds-barred battle for the cure.

A gripping tale of cutting-edge medicine and international intrigue, The Cure exposes the dark underside of the modern medical establishment.

      THE CURE offers insight into the dark underbelly of corporate greed as companies seek to own the next blockbuster product. When brilliant and controversial oncologist Anson Lunt dies in a suspicious plane crash, it seems as if the entire pharmaceutical industry wants to buy or steal his potential cure for cancer. When others start being murdered, fingers are pointed every which way, and suspects abound. Perhaps harkening back to the days of Sam Spade, reader William Dufris's style has a pretentiousness that seems incompatible with a contemporary story. Yet, almost inexplicably, Dufris's tone works, or at least grows on the listener, possibly because Hunter's ending is so satisfying. D.J.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
