Angela and David Wilson, husband and wife medical partnership, are looking for a new life away from the pressures of the city. And new hop in their battle against the incurable disease destroying their nine-year-old daughter's life.
Bartlet's state-of-the-art medical centre looks like the answer to the Wilsons' prayers. Until the falling of autumn leaves reveals something more sinister than the skeletons of the trees.
For in this rural paradise, it isn't life the doctors try to save. It's money . . . Doctor and author Robin Cook is widely credited with introducing the word 'medical' to the thriller genre, and over twenty years after the publication of his breakthrough novel, Coma, he continues to dominate the category he created. Cook has successfully combined medical fact with fiction to produce over twenty-eight international bestsellers, including Outbreak (1987), Terminal (1993), Contagion (1996), Chromosome 6 (1997) and, most recently, Cure (2010).
