Bristlecone Mountain

Résumé du livre

Mark Edwards has every reason in the world to hate Dr. Tom Whitby.... For the third time, Mark, a young attorney, faces the dying of a loved one from cancer. First, his grandmother, whose death he watched 30 years ago still haunts his nightmares. Then his larger-than-life father, his hero. Now his beloved mother, Clara, is diagnosed with lung cancer, and he can't stand to see her suffer-especially in the hands of the same doctor he blames for his father's agonizing demise. His mother and idealistic college-age sister, Anne, stand united with Dr. Whitby, who aims for a cure despite overwhelming odds. Even Mark's ex-wife, Martha, seems to be on their side. But Mark's law professor, Winston Hirsch, is pushing another agenda...and has founded a secret society that could put an end to Clara's suffering. The medical and legal combat that follows becomes personal...threatening the lives of Mark and Dr. Whitby. Can it be resolved in the dead of winter on the treacherous slopes of Bristlecone Mountain?
