When Savannah attorney Lucius Alton's cancer worsens despite expensive treatments, his daughter Isabel suspects something is wrong. She turns to her lifelong friend, Patricia Falcon-an amateur sleuth with a sharp eye and a fierce sense of justice.
The target: Dr. Demetrius Gryoti, a charming but mysterious oncologist running Magnum Oncology, a lavish cancer clinic catering to the wealthy and desperate. With whispers of false credentials, ghost drugs, and hidden offshore accounts, Patricia begins unraveling a web of deception that stretches from Savannah to international money laundering rings.
As Patricia digs deeper-with help from a retired DEA agent, a cyber-sleuth, a forensic accountant, and a network of whistleblowers-she faces threats, sabotage, and the chilling realization that Gryoti's reach extends far beyond the clinic walls. When a former patient dies and a federal agent vanishes, Patricia's quest for truth becomes a battle to protect her family and expose a dangerous fraud.
But Gryoti won't go down without a fight-and he knows exactly how to strike back.
The deeper she gets, the more Patricia wonders: what if the cancer isn't the only thing designed to kill?
