Synopsis

Capt. Gwen Maulder, a hardworking FDA medical officer is traumatically thrust onto the trail of a small, but mysterious epidemic of fatal seizures, all among young professionals. The culprit seemingly kills without a trace, no matter how deeply she probes. As Gwen attempts to probe the mystery, the opposition to her investigation rises, far out of proportion to its scope. At the heart of story is a chilling scheme to manipulate the lives of millions through genetic modification, conceived and executed by those in the highest possible positions of public trust. As Gwen and her allies attempt to overcome dangerous adversity the reader is left to wonder whether anything today can be truly safe to eat or drink or breathe. Gwen's story is as real as tomorrow's headlines.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When Marci Newman, the best friend of FDA scientist Gwen Maulder, dies mysteriously, Gwen refuses to believe that the cause was natural. Marci was simply too young and too healthy. Gwen makes it her mission to determine why Marci really died, even though her superiors and even her husband implore her to move on. What she discovers is much bigger and much more horrifying than she ever anticipated. Her efforts will put her in opposition to some very influential people, people who have every reason to prevent her from discovering their secret...and, more importantly, the power to stop her. As people keep dying, Gwen must go underground to find the answers - risking her life and the lives of those she loves in an attempt to prevent a nationwide disaster. Written by a true Washington insider and brimming with terrifying realism, Capitol Reflections is a stunning medical thriller.
