Dr. Lindsey McCall's worst fears are realized. Not only have both drugs been stolen but two women have been kidnapped- one maybe dead. Lindsey had known Liisa Reardon's new drug was alchemy, only this time, the end product actually more precious than gold.The desperate call from Hank Reardon in Switzerland came late at night causing too many questions. And no answers. Could Lindsey and Rich Jansen uncover who was behind the crimes? It was an inside job-could they figure out who had sold out the Reardons? All in time to save Reardon's daughter and her chief tech Ariana? Were they risking their lives as well?The evil words smolder in her mind, the contents of the letter delivered to Hank Reardon: Hello Mr. Reardon, By the time you get this letter, it will be too late. We'll already have her. Here are the steps you must not take: Do not call the cops. Do not contact the FBITell no one.We'll know if you or the FBI. We'll and we'll kill her instantly. You must know Sir, there is a price for genius. We trust you will pay it if you want to see your daughter alive.… (meer)
I'm loving the whole series, mainly because I'm loving the characters and feel like I know them as ethical, moral people, and consequently care for them... The mixture of the excellent writing, together with the world of the pharmaceutical industry, and merged with the criminal element of various types, makes Wilder's books an awesome series with formidable characters that are unequaled in my experience.
In fact, the only group that comes somewhat close is on Scorpion, one of my favorite television series right now. As that group shows again and again, the price of genius...is indeed high...but, putting them together in a tv program...or in a book series by Lin Wilder results in exhilarating, unique experiences time after time... Surely, you can't afford to continue without checking these books out!
I recommend you start with the first, The Fragrance Shed by a Violet, then Do You Solemnly Swear... All of them can be considered free-standing; however, the major draw for me has been the characters and by A Price for Genius, you will be meeting old friends as they struggle to find and rescue the two young scientists, captured only because they are both geniuses... My recommendation for the works of Lin Wilder must be as Must-Reads...
An impressively entertaining and consistently compelling read from cover to cover, "A Price for Genius" reveals author Lin Wilder's genuine flair for narrative storytelling and deftly crafted, memorable characters. While very highly recommended and certain to be an enduringly popular addition to community library Mystery/Suspense collections,

“Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.” Ivan Illich, Medical Nemesis

Suddenly regaining consciousness, Rich Jansen attempted to stand, then instantly regretted the abrupt movement. The pain began at the base of his head and exploded in successive and increasingly intense waves of agony, forcing him to close his eyes, hang his head and wait motionless.

The TMC was like Texas—huge. With over sixty independent medical institutions and eighty or ninety thousand physicians, researchers, and employees in the sprawling twelve miles of incorporated TMC prime real estate. Located within a single block from one another were two nationally known medical schools, and seven of the finest hospitals in the nation, perhaps the world. Driving slowly along the central strip, she passed St. Luke’s and the Houston Methodist Hospital on her right. Lindsey slowed to a crawl as she gazed at the hospitals made internationally famous by the medical warfare between Denton Cooley and Michael DeBakey during the latter half of the last century. Smiling once again, she thought with deep affection about these two giants of cardiovascular surgery. Without warning, she began to cry.

Rich merely smiled. Ariana had been as lucid as he and Hank Reardon. But for a man without the experience of God to believe her conviction that her prayers had changed the heart of a killer was too much.
