The Gift — Rick Incorvia

When Hoyt, a brilliant biochemist goes missing, his wife suspects foul play. However, their recent history of domestic quarrels leaves the police less than convinced that he didn't just abandon her. Criminals team up to try and steal Hoyt's astronomical discovery before the patents come through. Tim, Hoyt's best friend, joins forces with Hoyt's wife in an all-out war to find and free Hoyt before his discovery is sold to the highest bidder. It's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys in this cat and mouse thriller. Could the cops be in on it too? Is it possible that the world is just not ready for Hoyt's discovery?
