To end the war on drugs, the president of the United States decides to legalize narcotics-and tax them heavily. Some think he's crazy. Others want him dead. The president's personal physician, John Van Duyne, took an oath to do no harm, but after a Colombian drug lord kidnaps his six-year-old daughter, he's forced to do the unthinkable to save her: poison the president.
"A fast-moving thriller. . . Readers [will] keep turning pages to the end. A sure bet."
Library Journal
"Once in a while, a thriller comes along that is truly inspired in conception and perfect in execution. Just such a book is Deep as the Marrow by F. Paul Wilson. The story unfolds with speed and suspense, spurred on by the interactions of the memorable and often likeable characters."
Associated Press
"Several yards ahead of the pack. There's a primal power in the story of a child in danger, and Wilson milks it for all it's worth."
