Cure for the Common Killer - Paperback

by Salvatore Iaquinta MD (Author)

When overworked surgeon Rees Baker accepts a colleague's invitation to join a medical mission trip to the Amazon, he expects a break from his hectic surgical schedule...and a chance to do some good. What he doesn't expect is Kat Kentfield--infamous Internet star and his nurse's sister--along for the trip to a remote Peruvian town where the locals turn out to need help in more ways than one. When the medical team's humanitarian mission puts them on a deadly collision course with a madman, they flee into the jungle in a desperate search for help. Wounded, hunted, and running out of time, Rees, Kat and the others quickly realize the lives they came to save are their own.
