Beneath the Counter
Pharmacist Julian Rourke trusts numbers, labels, and clean data—until a “harmless” herbal supplement sends a patient to the hospital. The cause is a contamination so perfect, it looks deliberate.
Detective Elena Solano has seen a pattern like this before—too clean, too quiet to be chance. When Julian’s evidence collides with her cold case, they uncover a network of forged manifests and ghost shipments, all marked with a mysterious serpent.
The deeper they dig, the clearer the terrifying truth
This was no accident.
The system has been poisoned.
And the architect is still one step ahead, turning their investigation into a deadly experiment.
For fans of Robin Cook and Tess Gerritsen, a chilling medical thriller that exposes the vulnerability of our most trusted systems.
