Back: A dark conspiracy thriller set in the world of Big Pharma

by DM Searle

Big Pharma has bottled the fountain of youth. But synthetic innocence comes at a steep cost…

London. Nick Winters values truth above all. Fired five years ago for publishing an embarrassing piece against orders, the grizzled reporter finds himself on the edge of fifty and struggling to shine a spotlight on corruption. So when the editor who sacked him calls out of the blue with an exposé assignment, he seizes the opportunity to probe a lethal secret…

Exploring claims that a man committed murder under the influence of a drug the investigative journalist has experimented with himself, he digs into the company that holds the patent. But with the pill’s popular ability to temporarily regress older adults to their psychological youth, Nick quickly runs afoul of corporate assassins and deadly gangsters.

Will this determined writer’s quest for the real story make him a fatal headline?

Back is a mind-bending thriller. If you like driven heroes, page-turning action, and a spark of rekindled romance, then you’ll love DM Searle’s white-knuckle mystery.

About the author

Real-world thrillers. Unreal possibilities.

I write contemporary thrillers that sit at the edge of the possible: crime, conspiracy and psychological suspense driven by speculative, scientific or supernatural ideas that ask: what if this were possible?
If you like page-turning thrillers that feel plausible until something impossible begins to intrude, you’re in the right place.

Stick with it! It's something different!

I almost gave up reading this book because the main character Nick seemed to go
round in circles, getting nowhere. Anyway I stuck with it and I'm glad I did,
I've never read anything quite like it. The things people in the story got up too opened my eyes and gave me the creeps. The book was well written, I would read more by the author and recommend this one.

Incredible approach to the world of big pharma and a unique approach to an exciting adventure into a form of psychological time travel.

This book is a rollercoaster ride . A real old fashioned page turner that keeps you hooked till the last page.

So cool

I was hesitant at first but the deeper in I got (which wasn't all that deep), the story grabbed me and shook me like a dog with a toy. What a ride!
