Synopsis

Sula Moreno’s job in public relations is to put a human face on the big corporate drug manufacturer she works for. But there’s no humanity in the shocking plot she uncovers to hush up a lethal flaw in the company’s newest product, Nexapra, an antidepressant prone to triggering suicide in users. And though marketing it could be tantamount to mass murder, the company’s CEO won’t hesitate to put profits before people. He also won’t let a renegade employee’s conscience stand in the way — a fact made chillingly clear to Sula when the only other person who can expose the truth is killed. But her boss isn’t the only one playing for keeps; to keep Nexapra from flooding the market with a wave of death, Sula will risk everything…including her life.

In THE SUICIDE EFFECT the protagonist is someone I really like (this seems to be important to me). L. J. has made all her characters come alive; they......more

Goodreads review by Larry on September 08, 2010

Times being what they are, most of us are on more medications than we'd like to think about. And there is big money in big pharma, to the tune of billions. With so much money in play, big greed is sure to be sniffing around. Drugs have side-effects (have you watched a pharmaceutical commercial lately......more

Goodreads review by Tara on March 19, 2011

Could just be me... but I found this too hard to get into and not very thrilling for a thriller. It's a great premise, but it had so much other detail thrown in.. unneccesary details not related to the story line that I found myself skimming. I don't need to know what kind of suit the man wears, nor......more
