Pharmacon

by Brian O'Gorman, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

The debut novel from Brian O'Gorman returns. Patrick Hurst is a normal man whose idea of danger is a night in the pub with his long-term best friend Jack Samsun, until a visit from the police changes things forever. His estranged father is found dead in his home in the remote location of Layton Valley, a victim of a bizarre accident. Patrick inherits his fortune and the house where the accident happened. He finds his father's video diary which tells the story of his new invention, the Pharmacon, a healing machine that can cure any sickness. But the machine, like any medicine, has a terrible side effect, one that is now butchering the residents of Newtown. The killer sets his sights on Patrick and it becomes a desperate race against time for Detective Hank Slater and police officer Jenny Phillips to catch the murderer before Patrick becomes his next victim. Patrick vows to expose the secret of his father's invention, unmask the killer and escape with his life. Evil is coming home...

The storyline is very good and the book has a few twists I didn’t see coming myself as I was reading it. Of course there’s a lot of gruesome deaths in the book as while.

One heck of a book! Reviewed by Jennifer
