Lethal Dose

by Jeff Buick

Veritas Pharmaceuticals is a corporate powerhouse. But many of the drugs Veritas puts on the market are extremely dangerous, even potentially fatal and Bruce Andrews, CEO of the company, is well aware of it. Andrews isn't about to let that or anything get in the way of Veritas's profits. Gordon Buchanan is devastated when his brother and very suspicious. Could the drug his brother was taking have caused his death?

The more Gordon investigates the more evidence points to Veritas. His lawyer warns him that a lawsuit against the huge corporation would only ruin him, but if the law won't help him bring down this deadly Goliath, he'll have to do it on his own.

About the author

Want some authentic crime fiction novels – look no further.

Jeff Buick writes fast paced fiction filled with twists you won’t see coming. Lethal people (the bad guys of course) lurk in Jeff’s Boston crime series, but Curtis Westcott and his team of detectives are ready for any murder mystery that comes at them. The Westcott series is action packed suspense, perfect for readers who love Michael Connelly books, especially the Bosch series. 'A Killing Game', the first in the series, won the 2021 International Thriller Writers “Best original ebook”, and is a can’t-put-it-down suspense thriller. 'The Vulture Fund', the 3rd book in the Westcott series, was an ITW finalist.

The Bobby Greco series features a disgraced Orlando Homicide cop who tackles a very twisted bad guy in the series opener, 'One is Evil'. More to come on this series soon, with Bobby matching wits with some devious criminal minds.

Jeff's stand-alone novel, 'The Krubera Conspiracy', was released in 2023 and is a globe-trotting mix of thriller and suspense.

Keep an eye out for 'The Reluctant Truth', a multi-generational novel that touches on the close ties between fathers and sons. Set in current day with flashbacks to WWII, this one might make you laugh on one page and cry on the next.

Audio book review

The one thing that drove me insane was the narrator's complete bungling of the pronunciation of scientific words. Especially HEPA filters and micrometers.... It did make the drive better, but I have no compelling urge to find additional titles by this author.

Pretty good book by a Calgary boy! Lots of action, and a good story, even if the ending was a touch predictable.
Will check out another Jeff Buick book!

What a great story, riddled with lousy writing. I'm going to mail Jeff Buick a Thesaurus and the names of a few Editors.
