When Dr Veronica Ackerman lands a job in London at one of the world's most prestigious cancer research institutes, it's the chance of a lifetime. Then she wakes up in her boss's bed and finds him brutally murdered downstairs.

Who would want to kill Nobel Prize winner Hasely Stone - and why?

Ronnie must solve the mystery - not just to save her career but her life. The quest takes her and cancer survivor Daniel Plowright first to Trinidad and then to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. As the killers close in, Ronnie and Daniel discover the reason why Stone had to die - and why they must tell the world before it's too late.
