EXPIRY DATE
Lorna Reid had become a medical heroine when the results of her research into an anti-ageing drug were published. Working with a panel of patients suffering from progeria, she had proved that the drug, NP3, could arrest or reverse their abnormal ageing process. Then one of her best patients is killed and she becomes aware that the results of the thirty-year-old research on which NP3 is based needs to be re-examined. When she tries to track down the original scientist she finds he has just died in a mysterious fire, and she herself is attacked. Then the test results on her own patients begin to go wrong, but she can see the irrefutable evidence that these people are in much better shape than before they were given the drug. So who could be sabotaging what is proven to be a life-saving treatment? Once again David Michie skilfully taps into a highly topical subject, where the greed of the suits running the big pharmaceutical and health corporations far outweighs any respect for human life.
PURE DECPETION
Mark Watson doesn't take much notice of the news when the head of Berkeley Square Cosmetics is gruesomely attacked in London. Mark has just been wooed to LA to be groomed as the new singing partner to the rock star, Isis. Still not totally believing his good luck he allows himself to be 'made over' - new wardrobe, new hair style, new name - until he's not too sure who he really is. Even when he learns that he and Isis have a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Berkeley Square, Mark doesn't make the connection between the violence in London and his new role. Then someone targets them in a bomb attack and Mark wakes up with a jolt. Unable to fathom Isis's over-hysterical reaction, Mark determines not only to survive with his life and his career intact, but also to discover who the real Isis is and why she should be so vulnerable to threats. It's a path which leads him into chilling danger and which makes him wish he'd never entertained an ambition to be famous.
