Mortal Fear Robin Cook 1989

The man who invented medical techno-horror takes you on a startling and chilling odyssey into the origins of life and death.

When an eminent biomolecular geneticist dies violently before his eyes, a doctor must use more than his medical knowledge to explain what he comes to believe is murder, and to stop a scientific breakthrough from becoming a curse instead of a miracle. There was a lot that internist Jason Howard didn't know about Dr. Alvin Hayes.
