Description
When Dr Fraser Callan claims that Alkovin, the new ‘wonder drug’ for
leukaemia, has dangerous side effects, his boss, Connie Flint sends him
to America for three months to shut him up.
No one’s listening to his concerns and Fraser’s starting to wonder if someone’s pulling strings to hush up Alkovin’s problems.
There’s no love lost between Fraser and Connie, so when Fraser returns from America to discover that Frances, his fiancée, has contracted leukaemia and Connie is treating her with Alkovin, there’s bound to be trouble…
Under threat of dismissal and desperately worried about Frances, Fraser takes his troubles to Department of Health Inspector Tom Jones.
But before Tom can get to the bottom of the Alkovin problem, Fraser finds himself imprisoned for murder...
Will he solve the mystery of Alkovin?
Or will he be silenced for ever?
