Sara Lowell, beautiful TV journalist, and her handsome
basketball star husband, Michael Silverman, seem to have it
all. In spite of the fact that Sara still bears the scars of
a premature birth and a long life of various illnesses,
she's risen above these things to land one of the most
eligible bachelors in New York. Michael, who also came
through his very own traumas while growing up, adores his
wife. They're living a "charmed" life, it seems, until
Michael is stricken with a deadly disease.
Not only does Sara need to deal with her husband's illness,
but there seems to be a serial killer running loose that is
targeting gay men that have AIDS. So far, all of the victims
have been patients at the clinic of Michael's very dear
friend, Dr. Harvey Riker. Recently, one of Harvey's partners
at the clinic has committed suicide, or it looks that way at
least.
When Michael goes public with his disease, it's a game
changer for Michael, Sara, and Harvey's clinic. It seems
that Harvey and his partners may have come up with a cure
for AIDS, but if the funding for his clinic is pulled, that
cure will die just as quickly as those murdered gay men.
Michael going public and being treated at Harvey's clinic
changes everything for Harvey because, now, the public is
more interested in saving the clinic.
Lots of people begin to support the clinic with the glaring
exception of the Reverend Ernest Sanders, a bigot of the
worst kind because he hides behind religion while using AIDS
as his platform to prove homosexuality is one of the
greatest sins. It's quick to see that the good Reverend
Sanders is neither holy nor a good person. He's actually
rather horrible and will, one day, be bursting through those
Gates of Hell that he preaches so vehemently against. He's
an awful person, but is he a murderer?
Too many people are involved in this entire thing and it's
difficult to figure out the good guys from the bad ones.
Then, there are other murders and Michael is kidnapped from
the clinic. In a race against time, Sara's friend, Detective
Max Bernstein is hot on the trail of the murderer as well as
the kidnapper. But will he crack the case before it is too
late for Michael and others?
Harlan Coben has been a favorite author of mine for years.
He writes some of the most amazing and scary mysteries
around. MIRACLE CURE is one of his first novels in a
reprinted version. Even though it may not have quite the
same punch as his later novels, this is still one that will
grip you from the first page and hold you until the end. A
timely novel for when it was written, it's a great nail
biting roller coaster ride of a book and shouldn't be
missed.
They’re one of the country’s most telegenic couples: beloved
TV journalist Sara Lowell and New York’s hottest basketball
star, Michael Silverman. Their family and social connections
tie them to the highest echelons of the political, medical,
and sports worlds — threads that will tangle them up in one
of the most controversial and deadly issues of our time. In
a clinic on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a doctor has
dedicated his life to eradicating a divisive and devastating
disease. One by one, his patients are getting well. One by
one, they’re being targeted by a serial killer. And now
Michael has been diagnosed with the disease. There’s only
one cure, but many ways to die....
