Gloria Hanes is a young beautiful woman married to a sexy lawyer. She has a great job and she's pregnant. Life is good...until her doctor reveals that her baby is dead. It can't be. She feels it kicking. She fights and screams but no one believes her. When years later she receives a call that her bone marrow matches a child in need, she jumps at the chance to help. The little girl is the same age as Gloria's would have been, and she's adopted. Could it be her child? Or is this the same obsessive thinking that landed her in a mental hospital, causing her husband to run into the arms of another woman? When she confronts the adoption agency the danger begins, fueling her belief that her child is still alive. Enlisting the aid of a private investigator with a dark and mysterious past, she forges ahead on a quest around the globe, to the adoptive parents of several children whose birth mothers' stories do not add up, to a baby farm in Haiti, and ultimately to a showdown where she learns the horrific truth...about what science can and will create in the name of profit.

"Paul Wilson and Tracy Carbone have penned a winner. The suspense is razor sharp and the characters masterfully drawn. Paul Wilson is at the top of the game, and Tracy Carbone is a welcome addition to the genre. You'll love The Proteus Cure." - Michael Palmer, NY Times best selling author of Political SuicideIn medical ethics, the line between right and wrong is often blurred. Who is to decide what is for the good of humanity? Changing the world. One person at a time... That is the mission statement of Tethys Hospital, run by Dr. Bill Gilchrist and his deformed sister, Abra. VG723, their revolutionary stem-cell-based therapy, appears to be capable of doing just that for the cancer patients who come to Tethys. VG723 is often their last hope. But if they match the protocol, they're virtually guaranteed a cure. Dr. Sheila Takamura, a young, dedicated oncologist, is proud to be involved in the clinical trials. Once the FDA approves it for widespread use, VG723 will revolutionize cancer therapy. That is why she's alarmed when former patients return with bizarre syndromes. Yes, they're cancer free, but they're experiencing dramatic changes in their hair and skin and general appearance. When she investigates a possible link to the protocol, those patients start dying. As the body count grows, Sheila finds her own life in danger. She comes to suspect there might be a literal meaning behind the Tethys motto - but can she learn the truth in time to save herself and millions of others? "Wilson is one of the masters of the medical thriller." - Larry King
