The Claim

Author: Elisabeth Link, MD

An elite university. An abduction. An FBI investigation.
On October 8, 2033, a young medical insurance agent, Dr. Frieda Ending, was dragged into a van and disappeared without a trace. FBI special agent Angus Weber and CIA operative Dr. Annya Segond launch an investigation that leads them to the hospital of Silicon Valley University of Evolutionary Computation (SUEC) in Redwood City, California, where all pending medical insurance claims for children with cancer were suddenly approved. Who is behind this? Is Frieda a victim or a villain? The only witness is the parrot Caramba who keeps his beak shut. As Annya and Angus delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover a trail of greed and betrayal that leads them closer to the truth, and a finally, a shocking revelation. The Claim is an insightful and gripping medical mystery novel, which exposes fundamental problems of profit-based medical insurance systems. The game out there is rigged, and everybody knows it.
