Captive Reaction

Persford #4

by Dawn Marsanne

The story continues in Persford for the main characters in a new venture. A university research team discovers an exciting new treatment for cancer. Matt Pearson and Brett Chandler act as consultants to advise on the business aspects with a view to forming a spin-off company. Soon events start to get out of control due to a researcher whose behaviour starts to jeopardise the whole project and an employee who leaks confidential documents. Characters from the criminal underworld become involved and lives are put at risk. A story of desperate emotions driving people to the limit with little regard for others. Dramatic events start to encompass innocent parties with tragic consequences.

About the author

After a career in pharmaceutical research, I decided to write a novel set in the field, and Adverse Reaction was born. I became sufficiently hooked on writing and the characters that I'd created that I wrote five further novels in the Persford Series.
Since then, I have written two standalone novels, A Form of Justice and Relative Error.
Waves of Guilt was the first of a new series set by the sea in Broadstairs, Kent.
The latest book in that series, Layers of Guilt has just been published in April 2021.
Writing is my hobby and if people enjoy my stories it is such a lovely reward for me.
