Extended description

A famed athlete undergoes a routine operation. Six weeks later he is dead, the victim of a bizarre illness. Two thousand miles away, a radio announcer dies after suffering a similar illness.

Coincidence? Kate Adams, a strong-willed biologist, does not think so. Worse, she believes the deaths may be the start of an epidemic.

She challenges the athlete's surgeon, Dr. Greg Dostoyov, to investigate. Hounded by the media and guilt-ridden that he was responsible for the athlete's death, Greg finally accepts Kate's challenge.

The perilous quest starts in a remote corner of Scotland and ends in Southern California in a surprising and explosive conclusion.

Review by: Jeff on March 25, 2010 :
First time at Smashwords to try new authors for as little pain as necessary (read Free!)
Well I've not been let down. An interesting caper and worthwhile read. Perhaps a little predictable and linear but a lot better than many I've paid for.
As free advertising, this book has served the author well and I'll certainly have him on my normal Author list from now on.
