Description: "Tom Ferrelli is a young research scientist, who works for the Ornix Pharmaceutical Company.  When he discovers a promising molecule in the lab that eradicates cancer in mice, he becomes a rising star at Ornix.  But this will all change when Tom makes a profound decision to use this unproven experimental molecule on a young boy with a fatal cancer diagnosis. Tom's bold, unprecedented decision will set in motion a chain of events, which will forever change his life and the Pharmaceutical Industry.  And, as Tom tries to defend himself for his actions, he realizes that he is running out of options and time, and is looking at a long prison sentence, unless he can find a 'Smoking Gun' that will bring down Ornix, prove his innocence, expose a powerful Congressman, and introduce the world to a cure for cancer."-- Back cover.
