Passion, medicine, and politics collide in this romantic thriller. The arduous process of getting a new medical procedure approved by a bureaucracy plays havoc in the lives of a young neurosurgeon with a revolutionary cure for nerve injury and a beautiful ballerina who needs the treatment as her only hope. As the doctor battles a system stacked against him, his career and the life of his beautiful patient hang in the balance. A FOREWORD Book of the Year Finalist and WRITER'S DIGEST International Book Awards pick.
Brilliant Manhattan neurosurgeon David Lang has developed a breakthrough treatment to repair damaged nerves, which promises a long-awaited cure for paralyzing brain and spinal cord injuries. He believes his treatment is safe, but he must first get permission to use it from New York State's health system, CareFree. Beset with budget overruns and other priorities, the powerful agency puts David's procedure on the back burner. To the surgeon's despair, it will take years for CareFree to study the new technique and for him to complete the red tape needed for acceptance. He's warned that if he performs the treatment without the proper authorization, he can lose his license and go to jail.
His frustrations mount. Then one case pushes him over the edge.
Lovely, strong-willed dancer Nicole Hudson rose to Broadway stardom from a wretched childhood only to have her life shattered by a tragic accident. David's new treatment is her only hope. She knows the risks of the experimental procedure, but she desperately wants to try it. To be effective, it must be done soon. They cannot wait years to go through the approval process of CareFree.
A rebel doctor, a beautiful dancer, a growing passion, and a dangerous run-in with the law converge in one explosive case.
NOBLE VISION is an exciting novel with nail-biting suspense and plot twists you'll never see coming. You'll experience the thrill of a medical breakthrough, the anguish of a tragic accident, the agony of life-changing decisions made outside of one's control, and the excitement of two people from discordant worlds discovering their own supreme harmony.
Tightly plotted, elegantly written, vibrantly romantic, and keenly controversial, this timely novel makes the ideal thinking-person's thriller.
