Something is wrong at the medical school of Fairland University. A scientist disappears after finding that his coworker is faking data for a breast cancer cure. Two researchers, his statistician girlfriend and an immunologist, search for him and strive to expose the cheaters. As the scope of the fraud is revealed a U. S. Customs agent, who has her own stake in the case, joins them. Flying in the face of danger, the three women confront killers and a vindictive academic hierarchy, at great cost to themselves. This is the first book in a series that features statistician Jeannine Ryan and her use of numerical forensics to detect fake data.
