Synopsis

Like millions of Americans, Dr John VanDuyne is stunned to watch President Tom Winston announce his plans to legalise narcotics in a radical bid to destroy the power of the drug cartels. Especially since, as Winston's personal physician and a government health spokesman, VanDuyne might have expected some prior warning. And now he's going to be right in the firing line when the uproar begins. For President Winston, his daring plan could turn out to be political suicide. For VanDuvne, it's going to be much worse than that. The cartels know the President has to be stopped before his controversial scheme can become law. And VanDuyne is the perfect tool to do it. Only he can get close enough to President Winston to administer a subtle poison without arousing suspicion. And when they snatch his six year-old daughter Katie and threaten to kill her, VanDuyne would appear to have no choice.

Review

Praise for Deep as the Marrow:

“Several yards ahead of the pack.  There’s a primal power in the story of a child in danger, and Wilson milks it for all it's worth.”
--The Chicago Tribune

“Snatches you up, hurls you along at a blistering pace, makes you care about its kinky people—and does  it all while staking a position in one of the most embattled issues of our time.  You’ll love it; but better still, you ought to love it.”
--Dean Ing, New York Times bestselling author

“Wilson is one of the masters of the medical thriller.”
--Larry King

“Once in a while, a thriller comes along that is truly inspired in conception and perfect in execution.  Just such a book is Deep as the Marrow, by F. Paul Wilson.  The story unfolds with speed and suspense, spurred on by the interactions of the memorable and often likeable characters.”
--The Associated Press
