An Ill Wind

A young hospital doctor with a loving family is engaged to a promising lawyer. She works at a top hospital and has been invited to join the research team of a brilliant scientist who has developed a revolutionary new cure for cancer. Her life seems perfect. Then she discovers appalling secrets that embroil her in a world of extortion, blackmail, murder, political chicanery and pitiless revenge. This nightmare of intrigue culminates in the final horror of her realising that she is unwittingly involved in an authentic and entirely feasible plot that could render London uninhabitable for a thousand years. Although the sinister elements of this tale are chillingly realistic and topical, the redemptive powers of love and honour run through the story in the timeless struggle between good and evil. This wonderful thriller is like no other you have ever read: a heart-stopping and unforgettable read.
