A great medical thriller. It's about a young doctor who suspects that a mine in his small town is cutting corners in disposal of medical waste. When people in the town start dying of a rare disorder, he uncovers a web of corruption. Meanwhile, a woman pathologist many miles away begins doing her own research into strange medical symptoms in a woman who used to live in the doctor's town, and the grandmother of an autistic child lobbies for more studies for vaccinations which caused her granddaugher's disability. These three seemingly unrelated characters come together. The novel has lots of twists and turns...I think this is the best I've read by Palmer so far...and all his books have been good, but this was even better.

NOTE: My copy has a water stain (still in relatively good condition) and I'm giving it free to anyone who requests another of my books. Please pm me.
