Synopsis
The adventures of Lucas Stephens, first encountered in Boge's first novel, The Chicago Healer, continue. In Stephens's desire to be self-sacrificing, he takes his mysterious gift of healing to those suffering in the African slums, who can't afford conventional medicine. This leads to a whole new series of thrilling adventures. This second novel by award-winning author Paul Boge engages the inner battle between faith, love, and fear as the characters narrowly survive a plane crash and an attack by an unappreciative violent mob. Main character Lucas discovers that someone may have found a cure for cancer but is keeping it a secret since he is already making a greater profit from more expensive drugs that help cancer patients survive but do not cure them. Lucas devises a complicated plan to confront him hoping that he will force him to focus on the release of the cancer cure. Fast-paced, satisfying storytelling.Book Details
