Poison Pill

“When the treatment is worse than the disease, its maker better pay for all the lives destroyed.”
Dr. Mark Lin hates greedy drug companies, along with herbal supplements that can sometimes do more harm than good. Two medical mysteries force him to confront both.
First, a young man, only in his twenties, suffers from debilitating kidney failure. The only clue is his use of a mysterious herbal product for weight loss. Meanwhile, a patient has trouble breathing for unclear reasons, though Mark worries about the anti-obesity drug he started taking. Things truly get nightmarish when one of those pills strikes with lethal force, compelling Mark to take action.
Mark now finds himself navigating a web of deceit within the shadows of two rival industries: herbaceutical and pharmaceutical. He will uncover secrets about their so-called miracle cures, confront a company spokesman, and face a pair of aggressive salespeople. But once he puts everything on the line and discovers the true conspiracy, his only mission is to prevent catastrophic death, not just for the public but also himself.
Poison Pill is Anthony Lee’s medical thriller tackling dual methods of healing and the shady practices that do real harm to everyday people.
