MYSTERIOUS DEATHS AND A HORRIFYING SECRET THEY'LL STOP AT NOTHING TO PROTECT

Dr. Kate Bennett is a brilliant young pathologist with a loving husband and a bright future. But her world is about to be turned upside down.

At the Omnicenter - a high-tech health facility for women - a strange and puzzling illness has killed two patients. The illness has no definite cause, let alone a cure.

When Kate is called in to investigate the mysterious deaths, she stumbles upon a terrible medical discovery which has its roots in one of the greatest evils in the history of humankind. Now her best friend has fallen ill and is presenting the same symptoms as the previous victims - and Kate must expose the sinister plot before it is too late.

However, with powerful enemies and few friends, Dr. Bennett's disturbing discovery comes to threaten not only her career, but also her marriage, her sanity and her life.

Reviews

A master storyteller, one of the first to write in cinematic style with razor-sharp images moving with kinetic force

Some of his characters the murderous yet repentant Pinkie in Brighton Rock and the mockingly elusive Harry Lime in The Third Man remain so vivid in the public consciousness that they are certain of immortality

—— Daily Mail

The Fallen Idol handles themes of guilt and deception, responsibility and disappointment, with precision, reflecting these adult ideas off an innocent child

—— Time Out

[The Third Man] Graham Greene's typically laconic and mordantly witty fable of crime, deceit and betrayal

No serious writer of this century has more thoroughly invaded and shaped the public imagination than did Graham Greene

An astonishing talent

—— JEFFERY DEAVER

Intelligent and gripping
