Jake Wolff

Sammy Tampari was Conrad Aybinder's lover-- and his teacher. And, it turns out, he was not just a chemist, but an alchemist, searching for a mythic elixir of life. Sammy leaves twenty years' worth of his notebooks and a storage locker full of expensive, sometimes baffling equipment in the hands of his star student. The notebooks contain cryptic 'recipes' and as Conrad pieces together the solution, he finds he is not the only one to suspect that Sammy succeeded in his quest. To save his own father from a mysterious illness, Conrad will have to make some very difficult choices. -- adapted from jacket
