Product Description

Review

""Patent to Kill" is a fascinating medical thriller on a par with the works of Robin Cook. Readers experience the beauty and danger of the Amazon jungle in counterpoint to corporate America's thirst for money. April Christofferson keeps the reader interested by never letting up on the action but also creating a moral hero, one who is it is easy to care about."--"Midwest Book Review"


Product Description

It is a new crime for a new century: biopiracy, the theft of the healing secrets of isolated, indigenous peoples. Rapacious pharmaceutical companies swoop down on remote Third World tribes, steal their folk medicine, native cures, and even human blood, then reap tremendous profits from the patents. Dr. Jake Scully doesn't want to think that his employer, GenChrom, is exploiting anyone, let alone killing natives for the unique properties of their DNA. But when he tries to blow the whistle on the company's criminal activities, he suddenly finds his life-and his family-in danger.
