Dave has it all: a wife and daughter he treasures, a deep faith in God, a satisfying career fighting disease, and a job about to make him rich through an initial public offering. Then his 15 year old daughter, Liv, inexplicably contracts HIV, ripping his life and soul apart. When Dave discovers that his own work in West Africa may be responsible for Liv’s disease, he scrambles for a cure, only to become embroiled in a genocidal cabal of wealthy conspirators, including his business partner Claire, head of a powerful pharmaceutical firm. Liv’s fate is attached to the outcome of the genocide. If Dave doesn’t cooperate, she and everything he cherishes are doomed. Helped by a missionary priest and a tribal chief in Sierra Leone, Dave peels back the conspiracy’s layers, seeking a way to fight back. But Claire anticipates all possible moves, stopping him at every turn. Disease and war loom ominously as the stakes escalate. Then, the final countdown begins, forcing Dave to choose. He must play God with his own child and over a million innocents. Who will live and who will die? And how will Dave live with himself? First in a four book thriller series.
