This one's a page turner! I highly resented any interruptions once I started reading it. Now I see the cover blurb and notice that Neiderman has also written a novel called THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. I'm going right out to get that one, too!

From back cover: Dr. Allan Parker has been working toward this day formost of his professional life. Finally, he may have found the Magic Bullet the world has been waiting for all these yeaars---the cure for cancer. There is something in the blood of fifteen-year-old Taylor Petersen that causes immediate remission in cancer patints. But there's only so much blook in Tayor's body, and so many desperate people.
One of the most desperate is Frankie Vico, a mobster who faces a death sentence for which there is no reprieve--terminal, inoperable cancer. But with time running out, he's learned of one lat hope. Now he'll stop at nothing, including kidnapping and murder, to get his hands on Taylor's precious blood. Caught in a deadly chase with only Dr. Parker to help him, Taylor will hgave to fight to save his own life...and millions of others.
