描述
After a dozen years of practicing medicine as a family physician, Dr. Alan Bulmer discovers one day that he can cure any illness with the mere touch of his hand.
Although he tries to hide his power, word inevitably leaks out, and soon Alan’s life begins to unravel. His marriage and his practice crumble. Only rich, beautiful, enigmatic Sylvia Nash stands by him. And standing with her is Ba, her Vietnamese gardener, who once witnessed a power such as Dr. Bulmer’s in his homeland, where it is called Dat-tay-vao.
Ba knows too well that the Dat-tay-vao always comes with a price. And Alan has only begun to pay.
[This edition includes the short story "Dat-tay-vao", prequel to "The Touch", which tells the story of the events bringing the Dat-tay-vao to the USA.
