The Wonder Drug

DISCOVER A BREATHLESSLY TWISTY NEW THRILLER, FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

The truth can be a bitter pill . . . 

Michelle will never get tired of the view from her office window. Jagged mountains — and the wintry streets of Reykjavik, Iceland. It’s a perk of her new job at Kimia Pharmaceuticals. 

Her old life — a dreary 9-to-5 and a cheating ex back in London — already feels a million miles away. 

Still, there’s something strange about Michelle’s new colleagues. They’re all young, beautiful . . . and aloof. But then Michelle meets Lars, a jittery researcher from the restricted upper floors. 

She thinks she’s alone in the elevator, until he squeezes between the doors. Just in time. The elevator whirs into action — and judders to a sickening halt. 

That’s when it happens. Lars locks eyes with Michelle. Thrusts a folder into her hands. 

This is evidence. Hide it . . . I discovered something and I’ll be silenced because of it. 

Michelle’s already run from her past. This time, she’ll be running for her life . . . 

Fans of Claire Douglas, Harlan Coben, T.J. Brearton, Sarah Pearse, Lucy Clarke and Gillian McAllister will be hooked from the first page to the final twist.
