Produktbeschreibung

Barrister Gina Overton decides to move back to Canterbury to be nearer to her elderly mother and takes up a position at legal chambers in the city. Her move coincides with the start of the SEKare Inquiry into abuse and neglect at a group of care homes in the area. Gina specialises in prosecuting medical negligence claims and has agreed to represent the group whose vulnerable relatives suffered in the residential homes. The experience proves to be more challenging than she anticipates and she finds herself to be the subject of some subtle intimidation. Who is trying to unsettle Gina and cause her to question her decision to relocate? Without the support of her husband, Will, who is yet to move to the area and with the increasing worries of her mother's dementia, she struggles to remain in control of her life. Is she being paranoid or is someone determined to make her life difficult?

Meanwhile, Melanie, with a history of self-harm becomes increasingly distressed as memories of being bullied at school are triggered by a message out of the blue from a girl in her school year. Can her counsellor Trish help her cope with her painful past? The tension mounts and the novel reaches a dramatic climax which changes the characters' lives irreversibly.

The book is an exploration of human interactions and the mental scars that result from abuse which can take years to heal. What drives people to intimidate and bully? What will result from the desire to dispense a form of justice?

Autorenporträt

Having worked in the pharmaceutical industry for almost twenty-five years I wanted to write a novel which explored some of the serious issues in the field. The reproducibility of scientific data is a common problem which has recently been highlighted in the news and this forms the basis of my first book Adverse Reaction.
I particularly enjoy reading thrillers and suspense novels and I have tried to create a fast paced story which holds the reader's attention. Many of the themes of the book occur in everyday life and I have used the backdrop of research to illustrate them. There are relatively few novels which are set in the laboratory environment so I saw this as an undeveloped area but at the same time scientific details are kept to a minimum to allow the work to be accessible to readers of a non-technical background.
As I finished the novel I became sufficiently interested in the characters I had created to develop them further and so have produced two further novels in the Persford Reaction series which I intend to release shortly.
