Description
A riveting and powerful first novel that combines insider knowledge of the workings of not-for-profit organizations exposing a shocking account of those who abuse their power to subvert the trust of the very people they promise to help. Jackson, with his gift of language, creates credible characters that set the stage for a chilling conspiracy, deception and murder. _________________ They are the leaders of the largest charities in the world living lives of excess and power. They are trusted and believed to be simply better. We want them to be. We need them to be. They are the keepers of our hope. But is the dream of a cure really their mission? Have they come to see the disease, the enemy, as their true benefactor? How far would they go to protect the enemy? Would they kill? Death of a Cure is a novel of mystery, suspense, and action. The murder of one good man by a respected colleague is more than a crushing personal deception, it is a unequaled violation of the trust of millions afflicted by a horrible disease. In a first person account, the brother of a murdered man, a military surgeon, a man born to wealth and accustomed to success, is thrust into the role of homicide investigator. Quickly discovering that his skills as a detective are frustratingly insufficient, he calls upon a woman from his past for help. Together they unravel layers of evil and organization deception revealing that the true work of this healthcare charity has little to do with the curing of the terrible disease born by a trusting community. Murder was just another means to a hidden end.
