Description

With counterfeit drugs flooding the market, you could be in danger if you take the wrong one...

Raymond McNally is enjoying his new promotion at a major pharmaceutical company. He’s been enlisted to oversee the company’s newest product Erexat – a competitor of viagra – the world’s first and most successful treatment for male impotence. Raymond’s hopes are high for a successful and profitable future both professionally and personally. 

However, when reports of unexplained deaths and other serious side effects start to trickle into the firm’s medical department, alarm bells sound and Raymond quickly realises that the new drug’s future may be in doubt. Initially, the adverse effects are few and scattered globally, so the press and the national regulatory authorities haven’t been alerted… yet. 

As Raymond mounts an investigation, he teams up with a twenty-something computer nerd called Harry who hacks into retail sites as a hobby. As the tension rises, so do the stakes. Can they separate the tricks from the treats before it’s too late?

A brilliant rollercoaster of a ride… I read this book in one sitting in less than a day and loved every minute of it

I think it was Robin Cook who first introduced me to the medical thriller with the excellent Coma in the late 1970s. Few writers since have had the knowledge, ability or inclination to write in the genre. James I. Morrow thankfully does have the knowledge, ability and inclination to write a good medical thriller. Here it is.
With the world currently ravaged by the coronavirus we are all suddenly aware of the importance of the big pharmaceutical firms and their products. This thriller is particularly relevant today. The plot is intelligent and clever with action shifting between Switzerland, England, Scotland and India and characters who inspire empathy. I applaud the author.

This was a gripping, interesting read. I was a little cautious as I hadn't heard of the author but this novel about phamaceutical trick or treats was absolutely brilliant. Will watch for other titles by this author.
