Mortal Fear Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Mortal Fear


Something is causing patients at a Boston Clinic to age rapidly and die. At first Dr. Jason Howard suspects a new kind of epidemic. But as he investigates, he begins to believe that the deaths were not natural. And the only pattern seems to be that all the patients were overweight, smoked, drank too much, didn't get enough exercise, or combined any of these unhealthy lifestyles. His investigation leads him ironically to a research project aimed at slowing down aging.
