Synopsis
What is health worth? What is beauty worth? What is life worth? And when does life stop being worth the effort? The detectives of the special-operations squad find themselves faced with these questions as they investigate one of their strangest cases ever. It begins with a routine surveillance of the local Mafia godfather, but quickly gets strange when they realize that after years of hostility he's suddenly become the best of buddies with the local godfather of Chinese organized crime. A third player enters the scene; he turns out to be a plastic surgeon. The detectives at first suspect that they're involved in some sort of insurance fraud, but it develops that they're cooperating in a health scam that claims to be able to keep people young forever--in effect, they're claiming to have produced an immortality drug. One of the detectives, Dan Martin, is divorced. His ex-wife comes to town, and they get together to discuss some old investments held over from their marriage. He is uninvolved and her second husband died two years earlier, so the old attraction between them starts to come out and they become romantically involved. Then Martin discovers the true reason she came to town--she has an advanced case of cancer, and she has enrolled in an experimental treatment program at a local hospital. She, more than anyone, is in need of an immortality drug. As the detectives investigate the health scam, they begin to build a case by slowly fitting together the pieces of the puzzle. The strangest piece of all is that the gangsters and the doctors who work for them may be using stolen human organs to create a drug to keep people young. By working hard and being smart enough to take advantage of good luck, the detectives finally get enough evidence to launch a raid against everyone involved in the scam. That's when they discover the truth behind the immortality drug. A few days later, Martin's ex-wife learns the results of her cancer treatment, and both she and Martin have to deal with the consequences.

    The seller was wonderful, working with me in every way! Shipping was prompt and the commentaries, exactly as described! I've been searching for these for a very long time and Dinah's ended my search! Packing was great, as was the value for these difficult to find commentaries. Highly recommend this seller.

    The seller is a terrific communicator. He also quickly shipped the book to me, and the book arrived safely and packaged into a weatherproof material. In addition, it was placed into a box so that it would be protected from bangs and other abuses from the postal carriers, which was deeply appreciated!

    Absolutely perfect packaging. Really well wrapped. This book is even cuter than described, and I feel like I just won the lottery. Amazing value. It didn't take very long to ship the book to me either. Cannot wait to use it for Pentecost Sunday! Thanks!
