Featured Reviews
I like medical mysteries and thrillers so the cover of this book caught me eye. Daniel Marchmont, a patent lawyer, takes on a case with Calliope Biotech after the first lawyer, his ex, dies and a lab book vital to his case is missing. Daniel and his wife Rachel spend much of their time with their daughter Chloe living on their boat. Chloe has a rare genetic disease. A young researcher named Katie Flanagan is working on finding a cure for this disease. She has recently lost her lab space and has begun working at Calliope Biotech. She and Rachel become friends and she lives with them for awhile on the boat. She soon senses that there is something amiss at the lab, and she gets too close. This is a book with a lot of suspense where you are not sure who to trust. I suspected most of the cast of characters before the stunning conclusion. This book exposes the lengths to which drug companies will go to get a money-making drug to market before anyone else. I enjoyed this book and hope to see more from this author.
