When Gordon Buchanan's brother, Billy, dies from an injury in a logging accident because his blood failed to coagulate properly, Gordon seeks an outside cause for Billy's blood disorder, given no family history of hemophilia. Gordon learns that his brother was taking Triaxcion, a new drug manufactured by Veritas Pharmaceuticals, whose ruthless CEO will stop at nothing to maintain his company's profits. As Gordon begins to dig into the inner workings of the drug company, he's joined by Jennifer Pearce, a recent Veritas hire who has her own reasons for investigating her employer. Together they uncover a twisted path of corporate conspiracy, greed and murder that reaches into the very heart of American fears. Buick (Bloodline) offers two appealing protagonists plus plenty of fast-paced action and narrow escapes, with a minimum of tech-speak. While several convenient coincidences and overly helpful strangers speed along Gordon and Jennifer's quest, the final product is a quick, enjoyable biotech thriller. (Aug.)

作者简介
JEFF BUICK lives in Calgary,Canada, where the sum-mers are wonderful and the winters are, well, cold.Good rule of thumb: do visit in the summer,don't visit in the winter. Jeff has four boys in various stages of moving out of the house, which is good since it saves him a ton of money on groceries. He shares his house with five mischievous and very spoiled Shiba Inu dogs who live to escape from the backyard and wander about the neighborhood. He snow and water skis, scuba-dives, rides his motorcycle, travels extensively and writes suspens thrilles. Number-one priority when he's writing:entertain the reader. Hopefully theis book has done exactly that.
