This book explores the fine line between rigorous science and individual dreams of success. Through the perspectives of different characters, we learn the story of Cliff, who has discovered a possible cure for cancer and Robin, his ex-girlfriend who believes that his results may be a bit too good to be true. Overseeing the lab are two senior scientists, one overly cautious and the other a brash seeker of publicity who realizes that research can only continue when grant money flows. This intriguing novel reads like a mystery as one anxiously strives to discover the truth while developing a real fondness for the characters.
