Deadly Cure

The Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm...

Dr Rea Dharmasena is devastated when she loses out on her dream research job to her med-school rival, Dr Julia Stone.

When it comes to light that Julia got the job using Rea's own cutting edge research on a possible vaccine for cancer, Rea just can't let it go. Until finally, just after a life-changing medical discovery, Julia is found dead.

Now Rea has the dream job she's always wanted.

A job she would - almost - have killed for. But as she steps into Julia's shoes she begins to uncover disturbing evidence that stalked Julia's final days - anonymous phone calls, unidentifiable patient records - and a hospital basement that doesn't officially exist.

Rea finds herself beginning to wonder: who gets to live and who has to die?

Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient and Grey's Anatomy, Deadly Cure is a thrilling story with a compelling hook - is there a toxic flip-side to the human urge to 'cure'?
