A Medical Thriller
The
Carter
Anomaly
Washington, D.C., 1993. The AIDS epidemic is on every front page — and the cure is hiding in one woman’s blood.
“Sometimes the greatest risk is the one we calculate.”
Dr. Beverly Carter, a geneticist at the National Institutes of Health, has spent years chasing a pattern no one else could see: a rare anomaly in the human genome that lets the body fight back against a virus the world believes is unbeatable. When Jack and Bev find out that her blood holds a genuine cure for HIV — she becomes the most valuable, and most vulnerable, person in American medicine.
Jack McVay knows how to protect what matters. A former Navy SEAL turned deputy director at the NIH, he’s also the man who loves her. But the breakthrough that could save millions is worth more to the people who profit from the disease than Bev’s freedom.
A relentless medical-political thriller for readers who like their science real and their stakes personal.
