When Tom Keenan, Private Investigator, is hired by the CEO of a major drug company to help with “a problem,” he has no idea that this case will lead him to drug counterfeiters with international ties, hired killers, a crooked judge, and assorted government officials—some dedicated, some dishonest, and some just inept.As Tom and a team of state and local law enforcement professionals put together the widespread pieces of the counterfeit drug puzzle, they find corruption in high places and honor in the humblest places. Looming over all is the big “Who can we really trust?”Meanwhile, people are dying from taking counterfeit drugs that even their doctors and pharmacists don’t know are fakes.
