The heart-pounding international bestseller

One man battles for the life of his daughter in the face of seemingly unbeatable odds. But to save her he must first reach for the ultimate knowledge…

THE MIRACLE STRAIN

At the moment of his greatest triumph, the Nobel Prize for Medicine, Dr. Tom Carter’s world is shattered by the assassination of his wife. He knows that the killer’s bullets can only have been meant for him. In the aftermath of her death, a scan reveals that his daughter Holly has an incurable brain disorder and less than a year to live. Even the most advanced conventional science cannot save her. Something more radical is required. Tom Carter needs a miracle.

A secret brotherhood, two thousand years old, may have the answer. They need Carter’s skills to complete their own sacred quest. In return they offer him the chance to look beyond the genes of man…and into the genes of God.

The book is not new, but is still in good condition - the contents are intact, with the covers only very lightly creased.
