Publisher Notes: The Cure
- When Stuart Franklin, billionaire and CEO of the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, realizes he can't remember his own phone number, it's time to act. He enlists Dr. Richard Weigand, PhD, brilliant molecular biologist and rising star at the NIH, to help him on a new quest: cure Alzheimer's Disease at any cost. A homeless teen turns up dead at a New York County hospital. Her compatriot, Greg, believes she died suspiciously, but has no way to prove it. Enter Therese Edwards, who, despite leading a life out of a fairytale, just can't find the thing that makes her happy. Medicine, teaching, architecture, now cooking with kids.all interesting, but not quite right for her. The trail's nearly cold, but Therese is convinced that with a little effort, she can piece the story of the homeless girl's death together.
