From the Back Cover

The explosive continuation of the story begun in the best-seller, Lethal Harvest.

Dr. Tim Sullivan is dead and the critical records for his last few weeks of genetic research are missing. But the “devil’s bargain” Dr. Sullivan made before his death is as dangerous as ever.

With the bio-genetic world desperately plotting to obtain the secrets unearthed by the research, Dr. Sullivan’s surviving family and colleagues, Marnie Sullivan, Dr. Ben McKay, and Dr. Luc Morgan, find themselves struggling to survive a treacherous world of hidden agendas, ethical breaches, and life and death decisions

When Ben is injured in a freak hospital accident, he is faced with the very real possibility that he has contracted a deadly disease. Should he tell Marnie? Will he even survive?

Carlos Rivera’s genetically-engineered daughters are home from the hospital, but are still plagued with sickness. In his anger Carlos is capable of anything—even murder—to avenge his daughters’ condition.

Luc and his wife Janelle, are ecstatic when the tests show that they are expecting another child. But their joy is clouded when they find out that there may be something wrong with the child. Will Janelle and the baby survive?

As Ben, and Luc wrestle through these issues they find themselves in a blinding matrix of human motives struggling to contain the Deadly Cure created by their former partner.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved the book "Deadly Cure", January 6, 2002

By 

Jamie Perkins (North Carolina,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deadly Cure (Bioethics Series #2) (Paperback)

I think it was 3-4 times I was brought to tears reading this book. It touches the heart of Pregnancy loss and the deep pain , a subject that is often swept under the rug (it will disappear if we ignore it). This book was wonderfully written , tactfully while still exposing certain truths. I recommend this book as well as the first one, "Lethal Harvest".

This review is from: Deadly Cure (Bioethics Series #2) (Paperback)

Once again, Dr. Cutrer and Mrs. Glahn have produced a winner! An excellent combination of just enough "technese" and compelling characters makes this a "must read". Addressing tough ethical issues that face science and medicine today, they make their point while providing an outstanding and enjoyable story. I can't wait for their next book!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning follow-up to Lethal Harvest, July 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Deadly Cure (Bioethics Series #2) (Paperback)

A chilling look at the seamier side of bio-genetic research  and a frightening glimpse into the dangers medical workers face every day. In Deadly Cure, authors Cutrer and Glahn weave a compelling tale of intrigue, danger, and romance. From its exciting opening to its heart-pounding conclusion, this is a book you wont want to set down. Its an explosive, prescient medical thriller with some very deep questions  and a message of hope.

I strongly recommend Deadly Cure, and look forward to reading Cutrer and Glahns next collaboration!
