Miracle Cure

Sara Lowell is a respected television journalist, and her husband, Michael Silverman, is one of New York's most celebrated basketball players. Together they are fixtures of the public eye, and their families and friendships reach into politics, medicine, and professional sports. Those same connections draw them toward a bitter public controversy with lethal consequences.

On Manhattan's Upper West Side, a doctor runs a clinic devoted to wiping out a devastating and hotly disputed illness. His work is succeeding, and his patients are recovering one after another. But each person who gets well becomes a target, and a serial killer is picking them off in turn, spreading fear through the city.

Then the crisis becomes personal. Michael is diagnosed with the same disease, and the clinic may offer his only chance at recovery. Sara has to find out who is behind the killings and why before the treatment that could save her husband becomes the thing that puts him in danger. This is an early medical thriller from Harlan Coben, built on a ticking clock and a couple forced to fight for each other.
