A riveting and powerful first novel that combines insider knowledge of the workings of not-for-profit organizations exposing a shocking account of those who abuse their power to subvert the trust of the very people they promise to help. Jackson, with his gift of language, creates credible characters that set the stage for a chilling conspiracy, deception and murder. _________________ They are the leaders of the largest charities in the world living lives of excess and power. They are trusted and believed to be simply better. We want them to be. We need them to be. They are the keepers of our hope. But is the dream of a cure really their mission? Have they come to see the disease, the enemy, as their true benefactor? How far would they go to protect the enemy? Would they kill? Death of a Cure is a novel of mystery, suspense, and action. The murder of one good man by a respected colleague is more than a crushing personal deception, it is a unequaled violation of the trust of millions afflicted by a horrible disease. In a first person account, the brother of a murdered man, a military surgeon, a man born to wealth and accustomed to success, is thrust into the role of homicide investigator. Quickly discovering that his skills as a detective are frustratingly insufficient, he calls upon a woman from his past for help. Together they unravel layers of evil and organization deception revealing that the true work of this healthcare charity has little to do with the curing of the terrible disease born by a trusting community. Murder was just another means to a hidden end.
Public health care is one of the most important issues in America today. Now Robin Cook, the bestselling master of medical suspense, confronts this controversial subject with an all-too-possible scenario as powerful--and terrifying--as his groundbreaking blockbuster, Coma...With its state-of-the-art facility and peaceful Vermont setting, the Bartlet Community Hospital seemed like a dream come true. It offered doctors David and Angela Wilson new career opportunities, a chance to work within an enlightened system of "Managed care" --and a perfect place to raise their daughter, who suffered from cystic fibrosis. But then, one by one, their dreams turned to nightmares. And day by day, their patients began to die...
This controversial, critically acclaimed new play is based on the life and death of Dr. Max Gerson, one of the fathers of natural healing. "Luke Yankee's THE MAN WHO KILLED THE CURE is a vital and dynamic fact-based play about the times we live in and a timeless investigation of the hypocrisy that poisons the world of modern medicine. It's controversial in the best way because it will keep the viewer talking. It has facts that add up to real tension and palpable drama in the conflict between two German-born doctors that spans a timeline from Nazi Germany to postwar New York during the advent of drug-free alternatives to Big Pharma, and carefully dramatized characters that will unquestionably lure great and adventurous actors to the stage for generations to come. The background intrigues that develop--between one dedicated man of science who survived the Nazis to save the lives of others with a cure for cancer while his former best friend, colleague and new adversary gets rich trying to stop him--will keep audiences riveted while they debate the moral consequences. Sweeping away the mist of hypocrisy running rampant today behind the closed doors of the drug industry, the American Medical Association and the private offices of expensive oncologists who deal the cards in matters of life and death, THE MAN WHO KILLED THE CURE is a play unlike any other. It must be seen, and as often as possible. Mr. Yankee has left me shocked and cheering. Best of all, he has done what most playwrights too often forget to do--he has written a galvanizing work for the theatre that makes you think!" -- Rex Reed, syndicated columnistInspired by a true story, THE MAN WHO KILLED THE CURE does for the world of medicine what AMADEUS did for the world of music, redefining the nature of genius and what it truly means to be a success. More importantly, it exposes the hypocrisy in the medical industry with shocking facts and authentic testimony about the multibillion-dollar cancer business and how it has suppressed alternative therapies for more than fifty years. Luke Yankee's other plays include THE LAST LIFEBOAT, A PLACE AT FOREST LAWN (both published by Dramatists Play Service), THE JESUS HICKEY (originally produced in Los Angeles, starring Harry Hamlin) and his one-man show, DIVA DISH, which he has toured internationally. His critically acclaimed memoir, JUST OUTSIDE THE SPOTLIGHT is published by Random House, with a forward by Mary Tyler Moore. He has also written numerous television scripts and screenplays.
Cancer. There are few words in the English language having such a visceral, personal impact. Cancer patient. Cancer survivor. Pretty much anyone over the age of 30 knows one. A family member. A friend. Someone lost too soon. Someone forever changed. But we don't really like to talk about it, because there's really not much we can do. We fight cancer, sure, but we rarely win. Defeating cancer is one of medical science's greatest challenges. So when a novel approach to treatment seems promising, there is an intense interest in its progress and those who are making it. This book is about both - the progress and the pioneers - and its focus is the revolutionary science of something called cancer immunotherapy. This medical marvel, cancer immunotherapy - also called immuno-oncology - is still in its infancy. Yet, mobilizing the immune system to recognize and attack cancer has long been imagined, and occasionally attempted, for more than 100 years: It is only just recently that significant - in fact, unprecedented - progress has been made. With the use of newly approved immunotherapy treatments, there are now reports of hundreds, if not thousands of cancer patients with advanced disease living years beyond all prior expectation. Some of these once-terminally ill patients are now called "cured." This has never happened before. As Dr. Jill O'Donnell-Tormey comments in the Foreword, "It has taken decades of basic research and billions of dollars of investment to build the foundation upon which today's lifesaving treatments are based. This book offers a uniquely entertaining yet inspiring glimpse into the lives and minds of the academic and industry pioneers who forged this new field. It is a story of how an obscure and oft-derided field of cancer research - and the tenacious few scientists who refused to abandon it - came from behind to become the new 'darling of oncology.'" The book's author, Neil Canavan, is an experienced commentator on new developments in medical science. His portraits of 25 of the pioneers in immunotherapy are the culmination of two years of travel to laboratories, offices, and conferences around the world and countless hours of conversation with individuals immersed in a vitally important, promising assault on a dread disease that kills more than eight million people each year worldwide. -- from dust jacket.

"Delightful... elegant prose and discussions that span the history of 2,000 years of literature."—Publisher's Weekly A novel is a story transmitted from the novelist to the reader. It offers distraction, entertainment, and an opportunity to unwind or focus. But it can also be something more powerful—a way to learn about how to live. Read at the right moment in your life, a novel can—quite literally—change it. The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. To create this apothecary, the authors have trawled two thousand years of literature for novels that effectively promote happiness, health, and sanity, written by brilliant minds who knew what it meant to be human and wrote their life lessons into their fiction. Structured like a reference book, readers simply look up their ailment, be it agoraphobia, boredom, or a midlife crisis, and are given a novel to read as the antidote. Bibliotherapy does not discriminate between pains of the body and pains of the head (or heart). Aware that you’ve been cowardly? Pick up To Kill a Mockingbird for an injection of courage. Experiencing a sudden, acute fear of death? Read One Hundred Years of Solitude for some perspective on the larger cycle of life. Nervous about throwing a dinner party? Ali Smith’s There but for The will convince you that yours could never go that wrong. Whatever your condition, the prescription is simple: a novel (or two), to be read at regular intervals and in nice long chunks until you finish. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will offer solace, showing that you’re not the first to experience these emotions. The Novel Cure is also peppered with useful lists and sidebars recommending the best novels to read when you’re stuck in traffic or can’t fall asleep, the most important novels to read during every decade of life, and many more. Brilliant in concept and deeply satisfying in execution, The Novel Cure belongs on everyone’s bookshelf and in every medicine cabinet. It will make even the most well-read fiction aficionado pick up a novel he’s never heard of, and see familiar ones with new eyes. Mostly, it will reaffirm literature’s ability to distract and transport, to resonate and reassure, to change the way we see the world and our place in it. "This appealing and helpful read is guaranteed to double the length of a to-read list and become a go-to reference for those unsure of their reading identities or who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of books in the world."—Library Journal

A remarkable new historical thriller by New York Times notable mystery author Lawrence Goldstone that evokes the New York City of 1899. In 1899, in Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Noah Whitestone is called urgently to his wealthy neighbor’s house to treat a five-year-old boy with a shocking set of symptoms. When the child dies suddenly later that night, Noah is accused by the boy’s regular physician—the powerful and politically connected Dr. Arnold Frias—of prescribing a lethal dose of laudanum. To prove his innocence, Noah must investigate the murder—for it must be murder—and confront the man whom he is convinced is the real killer. His investigation leads him to a reporter for a muckraking magazine and a beautiful radical editor who are convinced that a secret, experimental drug from Germany has caused the death of at least five local children, and possibly many more. Noah is drawn into a dangerous world of drugs, criminals, and politics, which threatens not just his career but also his life. Goldstone weaves a savvy tale of intrigue and stunning twists that incorporates real-life historical figures and events while richly recreating the closing days of the nineteenth century—a time when American might was on the march in the Pacific, medicine was poised to leap into a new era, radical politics threatened the status quo, and the role of women in American society was undergoing profound change.
