Neiderman, most known for his horror novels, has written a very good medical thriller that is a rapid fire tale of suspense. A fifteen year old boy’s blood could be the miracle cure for cancer. Dr Allan Parker for years has researched to find a cure for the disease. Now the fifteen year old has been a God send. He uses some of the teenager’s blood to treat a patient. There is one catch. Franklin Longo, a mobster who is dying of cancer sees Parker give a treatment to another patient and realizes he has become cancer free. Longo is determined to find out what Parker used and to take it himself. Complicating matters further are the fifteen year old’s parents who are not so quick to have their son used as a guinea pig. The story is filled with complications and pacing that moves the tale along to a satisfying conclusion.
