There are seven of them, all between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two. They were diagnosed with and died of skin cancer, all within the space of three weeks. Those deaths happened far from Doctor Evie Six's practice in Kalispell, Montana. They happened near Portland, Maine. Is it a coincidence that her mother is Melodie Chang, the Congresswoman from Maine's first congressional district? It never dawns on Doctor Six to explore that question as she begins to investigate an eighth death that happened in Kalispell. But several lives will be taken before she discovers the real reason behind those deaths. One of them is David Ryan, a new patient who is ultimately murdered by his father. Is it another coincidence that Doctor Six suspects he has the same disease that killed the other eight? If so, why does she help to make certain that his heart goes to Alex Payne, an old friend, when David is killed? In the end, her mother will become infected with the disease that is taking so many lives. One thing Doctor Six knows is that the cancer she is fighting is inoperable. Her mother is going to die a most gruesome death. Unless she can figure out a medical reason why those kids died and then find a cure. But time is most definitely against her. Read Chasing Death to learn why Melodie Chang was targeted and what her daughter does about it.
