Highly recommended. Part mystery, part social commentary, I love the slight digs at modern medicine and the futility of the healthcare system. Though the protagonist's "disease" is fictional, it makes us remember that, despite all advances in modern biomedicine, there's still no cure-all...or even a cure for the common cold.
