Synopsis

In volume I of this series, we get to know our heroes, Gloria, Melissa, and Augustine, who work for a pharmaceutical company called MINERVA, which is staffed by an array of colourful characters with whom we have all worked (whether we like it or not) over the years. Despite their encounters with these awful people, like the office bore, the letch, and the bully, together they begin to uncover information that the company has tried to hide, and start to unpick MINERVA’s dirty secret. This book is for anyone and everyone who has worked in an office. The characters are recognisable, regardless in which sector you work. It is also about the unbelievable story of a device scandal, where people were left with irreversible physical and mental damage, caused by the implant of a device. Although it is unlikely that anyone working for the company set out to cause such harm, once it became aware of the situation, colleagues colluded to cover up the facts and this corruption went on for many years. It took whistle blowers like the heroes in our story to bring the truth to light and make the public aware of what was really going on.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

JL Rogers is a scientist by training and has worked in offices in the pharmaceutical industry all their career. During this time, they have watched colleagues in the office environment demonstrating the very worst and the very best of the human condition. JL Rogers had long wondered about writing a fictional tale based on their experiences of office work but had not quite found the nugget of gold around which to shape the story. When therefore they read about the implant of mesh into women that caused such terrible damage to them, they had a ‘light bulb’ moment and realised this scandal would be at the heart of the story. JL Rogers has drawn inspiration from a number of different authors past and present, and hopes that they bring you a tale which might make you howl with rage at times, but mainly makes you smile… and laugh.
