PROMOTION (Kindle) DEAL UNTIL SUNDAY, JUNE 28TH
Book Summary
World renowned
neurosurgeon Jon Ritter is on the verge of a medical breakthrough that will
change the world. His groundbreaking surgical treatment, using transplanted
non-human stem cells, is set to eradicate the scourge of Alzheimer’s disease and
give hope to millions. But when the procedure is slated for testing, it all
comes to an abrupt and terrifying halt. Ritter’s colleague is gunned down and
Ritter himself is threatened by a radical anti-abortion group that not only
claims responsibility, but promises more of the same.
Faced with a
dangerous reality but determined to succeed, Ritter turns to his long-time
colleague, corporate biotech CEO Richard Stillman, for help. Together, they
conspire to conduct a clandestine clinical trial in Seoul, Korea. But the
danger is more determined, and more lethal, than Ritter could have
imagined.
After successful
surgical trials, Ritter and his allies are thrown into a horrifying nightmare
scenario: The trial patients have been murdered and Ritter is the number one
suspect. Aided by his beautiful lab assistant, Yeonhee, Ritter flees the
country, now the target of an international manhunt involving Interpol, the FBI,
zealous fanatics and a coldly efficient assassin named Fiest.
Dead End Deal is a
fast paced, heart-pounding, and sophisticated thriller. Penned by master
neurosurgeon, Allen Wyler—who often draws from experience, actual events and
hotbutton issues when writing—Dead End Deal is unmatched as a technical
procedural. Its medical and scientific details can impress even the most
seasoned medical practitioners. And yet, the technical expertise is seamlessly
woven into a riveting plot, with enough action and surprises to engross even the
most well-read thriller enthusiast.
A smart, unique,
page-turner, Dead End Deal delivers.
