by Philip Hawley, Jr. A 4 year old Guatamalan boy dies in the emergency room. ER doctor and pediatrician Luke McKenna's curiosity is piqued by the child's symptoms, which don't match any known disease. Before he can perform a postmortem investigation, hospital administrators and Guatamelan officials whisk away the child's body. He learns of similar deaths in other hospitals and in a tribal village in Central America. While he is trying to find the cause of these deaths, he attracts the attention of a professional killer hired by the forces behind them. He is framed for the murder of his former girl friend and a football player. He suspects a conspiracy to hide the source of the deaths. On the run, he uses his former military training to evade the killer and the police to get to Guatamala to try to uncover the sources against him. What he finds is the cover-up of what could be a global disaster. This is a page-turner. Every page is filled with suspense and intrigue. The action is intense. The plot is believable and terrifying in its concept. It is well within belief that in today's world this could happen. The characters are well developed. McKenna's flight and struggle to clear his name are vividly described. This is a book which gives the reader much food for thought about the vulnerability of the world. |
