The Cure, Dell, 1992: A researcher who has discovered the cure for AIDS is assassinated on the day he is to make the public announcement of his findings.  His assistant, Luke Chinsky and a local reporter, Brenda Byrne, are plunged into a nightmare of greed and obsession.   Praise for The Cure: 

"The most original and necessary novel I have read this year.  It has the tension of a great adventure story, the suspense of the best detective fiction.  This one will be an international winner."

Richard Condon: Manchurian Candidate, Prizzi's Honor

  Fast paced and entertaining with an interesting premise."

Ira Levin: Rosemary's Baby, Stepford Wives, Sliver

  "A most contemporary novel, one that badly needed writing.  His character, Brenda Byrne, is also a most contemporary character, someone for whom the invaluable feminist movement is a more a weapon and excuse, a justification, than a well justified cause."

Gregory MacDonald: Fletch, Flynn

  "THE CURE is chilling, mostly because of the strong style and masterful plot, partly because of the conviction that somewhere, something like this is actually taking place."

Loren Estleman: Whiskey River, King of the Corner
