Rating:  Summary: A medical breakthrough has a woman on the run for her life Review: -------
LONG AFTER MIDNIGHT Iris Johansen Bantam, Mar 1997, $22.95, 542 pp. Dr. Kate Denby and her nine year old son live in Oklahoma where she works
at a genetic engineering research facility. Noah Smith wants her to relocate
to his pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in Washington state because he
knows that her current project is closely linked to his own research team's
work. Noah has discovered a drug that will cure all the fatal illnesses in
the world. Kate has been working on a delivery system that Noah needs to
complete his work. Raymond Ogden, owner of a large pharmaceutical company, wants to stop Noah
from completing the project because he knows that the panacea will put him
out of business. He is willing to buy Noah out, but when that fails, he
turns to other means, including killing Noah and starting a congressional and
media campaign to end the project. Meanwhile, Kate turns to Noah's friend,
mercenary Seth Drakin, for safety as she continues the fight to release the
drug onto the market. In between political lobbying and murder attempts, the
pair fall in love. However, this couple has a few major problems to work out
if they want to consider themselves as a united pair. Seth is a rolling stone, while Kate
needs a permanent home. Than there is her son to consider. As the duo fights
for what they believe is morally correct, they also battle the demons inside
themselves in order for a chance to be together. Bestselling author Iris Johansen has penned a fast-paced romantic suspense
that will grab and hold the reader's attention from beginning to end. Though
there are moments of questionable credibility in a few of the subplots such
as the lack of media attention to a plant explosion, the novel remains
brilliant due to the author's clever sleight of hand in fooling readers into
believing the heroine will end up with Noah. Suspend belief a bit and enjoy
a well-written fabulous romantic thriller. Harriet Klausner M
