Matt Radowski, a bright, young doctor, is on the fast career
track at GenWorld Inc., the most successful biotechnology company
in the world. His curiosity and intuition have served him well, and
he's someone to watch.
But now that curiosity has uncovered a dark secret, and Matt is
about to come face-to-face with powerful enemies who will stop at
nothing to protect their investment. Quite by chance, he's
discovered that someone has manipulated the registration data for
the company's new blockbuster drug, Septicustat, and these changes
make the drug appear to be much more than it is. His life changes
in ways he could never have imagined as he considers the
implications of that information. Matt must now make a decision
that could endanger his reputation, his career-and even his
life.
How far will these influential investors go to keep his
discovery buried? And how far will this brave, young doctor go to
ensure that the truth is known?
Deadly Deceptions takes the reader inside the fascinating world
of drug development, biotechnology, science, and big money.

Sergeant Sam Morgan's close friend has been killed. He is being
framed for the crime by a corrupt police lieutenant, who was
responsible for the death. Morgan survives attempts on his own life
as he tries to clear himself. He becomes involved in a vast
worldwide conspiracy in which businessman, politicians and
criminals vie with each other to get control of the research papers
of a famous scientist, Dr. Sanchez, who has been killed in a
botched kidnapping. With the help of friends like Wang, a shady
Chinese manipulator, El Gordo, a Sino-Cubano restaurant owner and
others, he unravels a conspiracy so complicated that even the
participants are not sure whose side they're on. Judy Greene is
beautiful, intelligent, broke and desperate. A former government
researcher, she has a young daughter and a senile father to
support. She is bribed by a retired intelligence officer, Colonel
Lawson, who has been hired by a large corporation to get Sanchez
papers, whatever the cost. To confuse adversaries, Greene agrees to
masquerade as the wife of an assassin she never meets. Unknown to
her, an old lover has infiltrated the colonel's operation and may
have recommended her for the job. Many others are involved in the
twisting fast-moving pursuit of the Sanchez papers. Among them:
Harry Gibson, the ambitious and ruthless fixit guy; Palermo, the
squirming Mafia don who distributes the drugs being imported by
McCameron, the CEO of a shipping company who picks up the tab for
all the mayhem and may be untouchable; big and small operators, all
cogs in a corrupt adventure. The goal of this competition is
control of a discovery that will make all other forms of energy
irrelevant and the possessors of the research wealthy and powerful.
To survive all the betrayal, violence and even a tangled love
affair requires courage, nerve and luck.
