Strong Medicine

Miracle drugs save lives and ease suffering, but for profit-motivated companies the miracle is the money they generate . . . at any cost. Billions of dollars in profits will make men and women do many things--lie, cheat, even kill. Now, one beautiful woman will be caught in the cross fire between ethics and profits.

As Celia Jordan's fast-track career sweeps her into the highest circles of an international drug company, she begins to discover the sins and secrets hidden in the research lab . . . and in the marketplace. Now the company's powerful new drug promises a breakthrough in treating a deadly disease. But Celia Jordan knows it may deliver a nightmare.
