Dr. Jack Ingersoll heads up the research project for EgAm848, the experimental drug that so far has proven 100% effective against Staph Luciferus. He isn't involved with the actual day-to-day administering and monitoring activities; that he leaves to his assistant, Dr. Roswell Irving Pearson (Rip). Jack is constantly meeting with the pharmaceutical company or busy speaking about this miracle drug, so he isn't really seeing what is happening with his patients.
Jack is also getting pressure from the pharmaceutical company to "doctor" the data, speed up the experimentation and get this product on the market before another company beats them to it. When patients start having late side effects, he turns his head and declares that they are just a coincidence. But Rip thinks otherwise. He and Sara join forces, along with a couple of other doctors, and try to figure out just what this miracle drug is made of and why it is attacking the autoimmune systems of patients weeks and months after it has been administered.
In the process, Sara and Rip encounter "accidents" that apparently occur in order to stop their searching for a reason for the late effects. Other subversive espionage is running concurrently with their research and mystery abounds. Will Sara and Rip find something that will stop the late effects and save their patients?
Dr. Richard Mabry uses his vast knowledge and years of experience in the medical profession to bring us another thriller in this fourth book in his Prescription for Trouble series. This story has so many characters you almost need a score card to keep up. It is fast-paced and will absolutely hold you spellbound. Yet Dr. Mabry weaves in an important inspirational message that God is in control, you just need to hang on, and he gives us a bit of romance on the side. Don't miss this one!
Book Summary
