Mason Pharmaceutical
Company (MPC) is being sued by numerous plaintiffs. Their drug, Celix
, taken by migraine sufferers, allegedly causes brain tumors. Kate
Sullivan, a rising star in the Atlanta legal community, wants to be
chief counsel on the combined cases. She achieves her wish, but is
thrown into a dangerous situation.
One of the chief
scientists at MPC, Ellie Proctor, contacts her about possible
problems with the testing of the drug. Kate hires a professional
investigator, Landon James, to find whether Ellie can be trusted.
When the scientist is murdered, Kate and Landon are thrown into a
deadly struggle to keep Kate safe.
The plot in this
book is fast paced and keeps you wondering how the case will be
resolved. For me the best part was seeing the detailed workings of a
big law firm preparing for a civil case. It was very realistic. I was a little disappointed in the conclusion. I thought is was a little too violent for the pace of the novel.
Kate is a character
you can relate to. She is consumed by her job and sincerely wants the
best for her clients. Landon is likewise a good character. He’s
pursued by his demons from his time as an Army Ranger in Iraq, but he
wants to keep Kate safe and gradually he begins to fall in love with
her. It’s not easy for these two serious people to finally admit to
the feelings they have for each other.
This book is
Christian fiction, but Kate’s belief fits well into the story and
is not overpowering. If you enjoy a good thriller without sex and little violence, you’ll like this book.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
