Synopsis

The Drug Lords
a novel
Copyright 2017 Joel W. Barrows

On a deserted road outside Chicago, Dr. Donald Lessard meets a terrible fate. The fiery crash obliterates all evidence of foul play. Private investigator Jack Flynn has once more performed well for his nameless, faceless benefactor. 

Suspecting that Lessard’s death was no accident, Dr. Karen Tobin is determined to find out what happened to her mentor. ​

When a spellbinding woman enters his coffee shop, John Bristol finds himself instantly captivated. In time, the beautiful young chemist stirs an emotional reawakening in the burned-out former prosecutor.

​Together, Bristol and Tobin are driven to solve the mystery behind the death of one of the nation's leading research scientists. Their pursuit exposes the soulless greed of one of the country's most profitable pharmaceutical companies, while at the same time driving them into each other’s arms.
