Synopsis

Only as a last resort, fifteen-year-old Taylor Petersen is asked to donate his white blood cells and platelets for his cousin Jody, dying of Acute Leukemia. When an inexplicable remission occurs, Jody’s doctor calls his college friend, Dr. Allan Parker, a cancer researcher obsessed with discovering the so-called Magic Bullet. Allan is intrigued and excited because a recent discover at a cancer research center in North Carolina found cancer-resistant mice whose white blood cells when transfused into mice with cancer cured the mice instantly. Could this be the same phenomenon only involving people?

Allan travels to Palm Springs where the incident has occurred, meets Taylor’s mother, discovers his father had been exposed to radiation at a nuclear site before Taylor was born, and concludes Taylor carries the Magic Bullet. The thriller then first begins when a dying mobster learns, through Taylor’s mother’s boyfriend, that he carries a miracle cure. A bundled kidnapping and a chase turns The Magic Bullet into a novel of tension, romance and action. Contemporary excitement like it’s never been.
