A "superb, suspense-packed" (Detroit News) novel about one man's attempt to combat the greed and corruption of a massive pharmaceutical company, from the #1 bestselling author "master of the medical thriller" (The New York Times)

"A storyteller of the most daring imagination . . . chillingly entertaining and thought-provoking."--Associated Press

When young dancer Jennifer Schonberg became pregnant by accident, her feelings were mixed. For her husband, Adam, a third-year medical student already in financial straits, the loss of Jennifer's income and the cost of the coming child meant he must drop out of medical school, so he takes a job as a salesperson for the giant, powerful drug firm Arolen Pharmaceuticals.

Jennifer felt she would get the best care at the Julian Clinic as her pregnancy progressed, and it seemed a happy coincidence that the Julian Clinic was owned by Arolen.

But soon Adam's curiosity was aroused: Why did the computer print-outs on his doctor customers reveal so much personal information? And why did so many of them give up private practice for the mysterious Julian Clinic after returning from one of Arolen's lavish Caribbean cruises?

Alarm bells start ringing when Jennifer's doctor, just back from a cruise, joined the clinic and started prescribing Arolen drugs which he had previously rejected. As Adam slowly begins to suspect the terrifying truth about the connection between the Julian Clinic and Arolen--and about the hideous evil perpetrated on the wife he loved by the doctor she helplessly trusted--he must fight to save his family and the soul of medicine itself. . . .

Once again, Robin Cook has provided me with an average but entertaining read. His medical thrillers always leave me with an odd mix of boredom and entertainment that I find difficult to describe. Still, as Cook novels go, this is one of his better books. Certainly, the concept is a scary one, even if it isn't presented as well as it could be. Worth reading if you are a Robin Cook fan or if you don't want to think too hard.
