The Fifth Vial

Összefoglaló

Natalie Reyes is unjustly suspended from Harvard Medical School and feels like her world has ended. But when her boss sends her to present a medical paper at a Rio de Janeiro conference it almost does. Kidnapped, shot while trying to escape, and left for dead in an alley, Natalie survives, but with devastating consequences. Now all her dreams are shattered. On the other side of the world, medical genius Joe Anson is working on a serum that could save millions of lives - if only he can fend off a fatal illness long enough to complete his research. But Anson is running out of time, and those watching from the shadows will stop at nothing to destroy him. Meanwhile, in Chicago, detective Ben Callahan is struggling to identify a dead man. But what do the mysterious marks on his body mean? Three people with no apparent connection learn the meaning of trust and betrayal as they are drawn into a conspiracy revolving around the fifth vial.
