The Cure
From a gifted new master of medical terror, the heart-stopping tale of a desperate young woman, a dying man, and a doctor obsessed with pushing medical technology to its limits -- and beyond. Jodie Simms lives for two things: her job as one of television's top investigative journalists and her father, Carl, who is slowly losing his mind to the scourge of Alzheimer's disease. Almost beyond hope, the best Jodie can do is hold her father's hand while he wastes away before her eyes -- until she hears about The Cure. The Cure is illegal. Potentially deadly. Prohibitively expensive. Yet other Alzheimer's patients have used it and regained their lives. When Jodie sees the astonishing drug in action, she is determined to have it at any cost. But the miracle Jodie seeks comes at a terrible price. On the run, deep in the heart of Mexico's Mayan ruins, she must confront the explosive truth behind The Cure -- and the most dangerous decision of her life.

Exciting, fast-paced medical thriller.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Langello writes books that you feel compelled to finish in one or two sittings. "The Clinic" was a compelling book about desperate infertile couples who are willing to do anything to conceive a child. "The Cure" is about equally desperate people who will pay anything to cure or control Alzheimer's Disease. Naturally, there are unscrupulous people who, for a fee, are willing to take advantage of people's desperation. The villains are truly villainous and the spunky heroine is an intelligent woman whose love for her father blinds her to some unpleasant truths until the end. This is a page-turner for those who love medical thrillers, as I do.
Exhilerating, adventurous and page turner
