The Shadow Chaser - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Just one man stands in the way of a killer stalking millions

André Lemoine, one of the world's leading geneticists, is on the verge of the medical breakthrough of the century: a link with rare primates that could unlock a vital key in the search for a cure for AIDS.

But part of André's quest is driven by a pressing medical threat within his own family, and when his breakthrough brings him into conflict with two ambitious ruthless rivals - it plunges André into the race of his life; a race which takes André from the dark jungles of Africa and Brazil to the seamy back-streets of Paris and Philadelphia. A nightmare world of thieves, hookers and pimps, lab bombers and FBI agents - far removed from the safety of his lab bench.

For André the stakes have never been higher. Because, as the threat to those André loves looms stronger, it becomes a race through the shadows of his family's dark past to, ultimately, face death head-on.
