When a big Seattle pharmaceutical company's "miracle" drug kills several people, a dedicated researcher blows the whistle.

Pressed to come up with an instant bestseller about the case, book editor Carolyn Neville and her sidekick Stephen Ames are stunned when the scientist is poisoned.

Trying to produce a book, they face a grieving widow, an opportunistic police chief, an impossible deadline-and jail.

For fans of Horace Rumpole, Monk and Stephanie Plum, the Carolyn Neville Mysteries are full of laugh-out-loud suspense.
