Year
In the anxious days after Pearl Harbor, Life photojournalist
Claire Shipley finds herself covering one of the nation's most
important stories. At New York City's renowned Rockefeller
Institute, researchers are racing to save thousands of wounded
American soldiers and countless others by developing a miraculous
new drug they call penicillin. For Claire, a single mother haunted
by the loss of her young daughter--a death the miracle drug could
have prevented--the story is cuttingly personal, especially after
she unexpectedly begins to fall in love with the shy and brilliant
head physician, James Stanton. But Claire isn't the only one
interested in the secret cure. When a researcher dies under
suspicious circumstances, the stakes become starkly clear: someone
understands just how profitable the new drug could be--and will
stop at nothing to get it. Now, with lives and a new love hanging
in the balance, Claire will throw herself into harm's way to find a
killer--no matter what price she may have to pay.
