Publisher's summary

World renowned neurosurgeon Jon Ritter is on the verge of a medical breakthrough that will change the world. His groundbreaking surgical treatment, using transplanted non-human stem cells, is set to eradicate the scourge of Alzheimer’s disease and give hope to millions. But when the procedure is slated for testing, it all comes to an abrupt and terrifying halt.

Ritter’s colleague is gunned down and Ritter himself is threatened by a radical anti-abortion group that not only claims responsibility, but promises more of the same. Faced with a dangerous reality but determined to succeed, Ritter turns to his long-time colleague, corporate biotech CEO Richard Stillman, for help.

Together, they conspire to conduct a clandestine clinical trial in Seoul, Korea. But the danger is more determined, and more lethal, than Ritter could have imagined. After successful surgical trials, Ritter and his allies are thrown into a horrifying nightmare scenario: The trial patients have been murdered and Ritter is the number one suspect. Aided by his beautiful lab assistant, Yeonhee, Ritter flees the country, now the target of an international manhunt involving Interpol, the FBI, zealous fanatics and a coldly efficient assassin.

Dead End Deal is a fast-paced, heart-pounding, and sophisticated thriller. Penned by master neurosurgeon, Allen Wyler - who often draws from experience and actual events when writing - Dead End Deal is unmatched as a technical procedural. Its medical and scientific details can impress even the most seasoned medical practitioners. And yet, the fascinating expertise is seamlessly woven into a riveting plot, with enough action and surprises to engross even the most well-read thriller enthusiast.

Good book. Tecnichal problems with the book

This is my third book by Allen Wyler. I liked "Dead ringer" but I didn't like "Deadly odds".

In South Korea John is suddenly arrested. The police have proof that he'd been at the hospital when two patients died. He'd not just lost his swipe card for the hospital but Fiest has it! There is no explanation for how he lost it and the killer having it. The patients died during the night. They were killed with potassium which you normally have in your body. The patients were older and had surgery the day before. Why did someone suspect that they had been killed and call in the police!?

When John gets back to the US he goes to Stillman's office at 7 in the morning despite knowing that Stillman wants him dead! He made it very easy for Fiest! He could have told Stillman over the phone that his research was free for anyone to use! I liked the book until I got to the end and things didn't make sense anymore!

I got the book for free from Audible. There was a problem with the book. I was not able to see the chapters. When I bookmarked something the date and time was saved but it said " chapter1" for all my bookmarks.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
