After a Fall on the Ice and the End of her Surgical Career, Laura Nelson
Lands in the Halls of the FDA and the Inner Sanctum of Iraq's Bioweapon
Program
A tragic accident ends Laura Nelson's career as a surgeon. After
accepting a position as Vice President for Research in a large
pharmaceutical company, Laura works to finalize the imminent approval of
the company's groundbreaking new drug.
But Jake Harter, a malicious Food and Drug Administration employee,
cannot let that happen. He is obsessed with Adawia Abdul, the beautiful
Iraqi scientist who discovered the drug. As soon as the drug is
approved, Adawia will collect a substantial bonus and reluctantly return
to replace her dying father, the lead scientist in Saddam Hussein's
bioweapon program.
As Hussein's henchmen apply brutal pressure to assure Dr. Abdul's speedy
return to Iraq, Harter uses his influence to stall the drug's approval.
If Laura gets in his way, he will eliminate her as he has her
predecessor and his own wife.
Perfect for fans of Robin Cook and Tess Gerritsen
