The Magnificent Possession
ByPublisher Description
In a rundown lab overlooking the Hudson, a weary chemist believes he's on the verge of greatness—a synthetic metal more beautiful and affordable than gold. But the moment he announces his discovery, the vultures descend: desperate businessmen, crooked politicians, and professional criminals, each scheming to seize the formula for themselves. As chaos erupts, the true nature of the invention—a gold substitute with a stomach-turning secret—unleashes consequences more disastrous than anyone imagined. With his dreams unraveling and his life in danger, the chemist must decide whether fame and fortune are worth the price of universal revulsion.
