Dani North is a filmmaker who just won an award at the Tribeca Film Festival for her documentary, The Drugging of Our Children, a film critical of the pharmaceutical industry. When a pharmaceutical industry vaccine researcher hands her “smoking gun” evidence about the national vaccination program seconds before he’s murdered right in front of her, Dani finds herself implicated and pursued by the police.
Dani realizes what she’s been handed could have crucial implications on upcoming hearings by a Senate committee. She finds herself on the run in a race to understand and expose the evidence - that is, before the police can grab her, or Grover Madsen, a megalomaniacal pharmaceutical industry CEO, can have her hunted down by his hired killers.

"Great thriller with pace, suspense, action, real emotion and twists and turns that will keep you interested until the final surprise(s) at the end. I've read his other books and enjoyed them. This one is a different approach: more action, breakneck pace and some truly evil people. Less subtle, more raw than his others. His Q&A on Amazon said he was shooting for North by Northwest, Marathon Man and Six Days of the Condor. He nailed it."

" Kept my interest but too many coincidences for me. Built well to a climax that I found disappointing. I only hope the premise is not true, that the rise in autism is directly related to mandatory vaccination of our kids. "
— Tom, 2/19/2014" This "mystery novel" is thinly-disguised propaganda concerning the dangers of vaccinating our children. Whether there's any truth or not to the author's position is beside the point. Not only do I feel like I was duped, but I'm offended that he thinks his readers are so stupid that they wouldn't notice. He should have been honest and written a non-fiction book on the subject. His underhanded method in writing this book has caused his whole premise to lack credibility. On top of everything else, it wasn't even well-written! "
— Linda, 2/15/2014" Very good. Although it is fiction, it gives a lot of food for thought. "
— Celeste, 2/12/2014" An Interesting, and believable, premise for a thriller - a pharmaceutical company covering up serious side effects from a vaccine they are manufacturing - is completely undermined by amateurish writing, a banal plot and one-dimensional, almost cartoonish, characters. I give it 1 1/2 stars and say - don't waste your time with this one. "
— Deb, 2/7/2014" The premise and plot was interesting and the characters were developed well. For me, the story left a little something to be desired in regard to the mystery/murderer aspect. It was not a " I can't put this down until I know ____ " kind of book, but it was an easy and quick enough read that you don't have to think alot to keep up. "
— Heather, 2/6/2014" I really wanted to like this book. It has a great premise, and the reviews made it sound promising. But it never really grabbed my attention, and by the end I was forcing myself to finish it. "
— Sheila, 1/31/2014" Horrible - total propaganda and very poorly written. "
— Cindy, 1/30/2014" Perfectly put together. I almost couldn't believe how well the author moved from one scene, one character to another. So fluid and so emotionally involving. This is one for the bookshelf, to hand down to your kids and friends who love engaging and complex reads. I so loved this book. "
— George, 1/24/2014" A very exciting, realistic plot evolves as Dani North exposes the greed of Big Pharma at the expense of our children. "
— Nancy, 1/20/2014" Kept my interest but too many coincidences for me. "
— Tom, 1/8/2014" Interesting thriller. Scientifically sound. "
— Tracy, 12/31/2013" Good story. Fast-paced, quick read. While fictional, it serves as a nice primer for someone who doesn't believe corporations will kill people for billions of dollars. "
— Eden, 12/30/2013" I thought it would be more about the vaccine controversy when in reality it was more of a Grisham, urban thriller wherein vaccine research is the protagonist. Unimpressed with theme and content but the plot kept me reading through to the end. "
— Sherry, 12/26/2013" A fast-paced thriller that tackles an important issue within our society. Many will trash this work because of the issue, but his facts shouldn't be ignored or easily dismissed. Read it, think about. "
— Shawn, 12/9/2013" I liked it. It kept me turning the pages of this fast paced thriller. "
— Avrild, 12/3/2013" Another good summer thriller. "
— Kathleen, 11/7/2013" This book was terrible. I did a full review on amazon.com, but it was a complete waste of time. It was just so poorly written. Bad characters that I did not care about at all, bad plot, not believable. As I said in the Amazon.com review, it was very sophomoric. "
— Matt, 9/28/2013" I've loved his other books and this one's no exception. Great story, better characters and lots more action than his other books. It has some duck-hook curveballs that are surprising and clever. Great writing, too. "
— James, 8/8/2013" Thrilling, breathtaking, shocking, eye-opening, gripping. Wow! "
— Missy, 6/26/2013" Brilliant! Whirlwind of a read! "
— Gretchen, 5/13/2013" Great thriller. Groundbreaking on vaccines. Frighteningly real and scary as a result. Masterfully done. "
— Robert, 4/18/2013" Not great and pretty predictable. I was hoping for more about the vaccine and drug company world. "
— Jackie, 3/28/2013" This time David Lender is not writing about Wall Street but instead ties a murder plot to a pharmacutical industry scandel. Good story with a lot of action. Kindle download "
— Ron, 12/2/2012" A really fast, action packed read. Interesting enough, but really seemed like a forum for the author to air his beliefs and politics of vaccines. "
— Erin, 8/27/2012" This book is very interesting for those following the issue of the impact of vaccines on people's health and the influence of drug companies. That alone makes this a recommended book, though the "thriller" aspect of the book sometimes dragged and seemed contrived. "
— Carol, 8/17/2012" Quick Read, Great thriller....and great eye opener all in one! "
— Carmen, 7/4/2012" Beware the Kindle Daily Deal! This sounded great and it was only a couple of bucks, so I bought it. All I can say is bleah. Stilted writing, rickety plot line, poor character development. I could not finish it, and I would not recommend that you start it. "
— Susan, 6/3/2012" not bad but not great.... "
