About the author
David P. Warren
14 books18 followersI am a 45-year lawyer with a passion for writing the unexpected. Plots that are uncomfortably plausible--that happen to compelling characters in situations beyond their control.
"The Senator's Murder" was released in July 2024. It is a story of murder, trying to solve that murder of a nationally known senator, the lives that are affected and the evidence that emerges. It's a story that features hard-working people, mistakes that come back to haunt, and how evidence can emerge that paints more than one picture. It's the story of a nationally followed trial that turns lives upside down and comes with some real surprises and it's the story of a massive ethical and moral dilemma. I hope that you love it!
"The Insiders' Club: Strangers in Crime" has been released (July 2023). It is the fourth book in the Scott Winslow mystery series and it sees investigator Lee Henry go to great lengths to obtain evidence of insider trading by an elite group of brokers and wind up a murder suspect in the process!
"Between Dreams and Nightmares" was released in 2022. On her fortieth birthday, Amanda Harmon is being interrogated by detectives and is the primary suspect in the murder of her lawyer husband. The FBI is also coming after Amanda because they believe she knows the location of money stolen by her dead husband. It's a wild ride as Amanda sees the walls closing in around her.
"A Secret to Die For," (2020), is the third book in the Scott Winslow series. When two executives in the pharmaceutical industry step forward to complain the drug test results being published are not accurate, they don’t expect to be fired; and they don’t expect anyone to be stalked, beaten, or killed. They have no idea what they will be up against for revealing a secret that will cost their employer billions of dollars.
Aligor Pharmaceuticals has a new drug. One that they say will revolutionize cancer treatment, with the possibility of rescuing many in the final stages of the disease. And Delexane is only weeks from FDA approval as the phase three trials conclude. The product is already generating millions of dollars with news of its arrival causing the stock price to soar. In a couple of months, the product will be released and millions battling cancer are expected to benefit. The problem is, the sixty-five percent success rate that resulted in the first two phases of the drug test has fallen to only twelve percent in phase three, the biggest test group of the product trials, but Aligor continues to publicize a sixty-five percent success rate. Witnessing the failures of phase three, Aligor executives Martin Cardenas and Justin Palmer repeatedly approach Aligor’s top management about the discrepancy between the results the company continues to publish, and the results actually documented. To the CEO, their continued silence becomes a question of loyalty and when they author a letter that would disclose what was happening to regulatory authorities, they are both abruptly terminated—and the fight begins.
This is a timely story of a drug that is desperately needed in society. And when a drug company doesn’t disclose the real data about a potential new drug to regulators or the public, there are millions of potential victims.
Attorney Scott Winslow accepts the representation of fired executives Cardenas and Palmer and goes to war against the pharma giant. As the battle rages, Martin Cardenas and Justin Palmer find themselves stalked and threatened and Investigator Lee Henry goes to extraordinary lengths to discover and access evidence that will make a difference. And you will find yourself up late reading as compelling characters go to battle and bring you face to face with the unexpected.
My prior thriller was "Personal Violation," (2019), in which attorney Scott Winslow and investigator Lee Henry, from "The Whistleblower Onslaught," have returned with a compelling new case. Scott represents a female executive raped by the corporate CEO on a bus

Good, entertaining read. Plot wants to make you keep reading even though the ending is predictable. Several errors in the writing that should have been caught by editor of proofreader. However the errors were few enough in number that the book was still enjoyable. I have read some books with so many errors that I was unable to find them. The length lends itself to a good beach read suspense book.

Good Story, Bad Proofreading
This books content was really good but the grammatical errors were really annoying. It took away from the pleasure of reading a good book. If you need a good proof reader for your books I can assure you that I could do the job and make your books look a lot better. You can reach me at dufkitty@cox.net. I hope your next book is better edited. The story was an edge of your seat good story. I really enjoyed the it.

Great book except for the F word. It would be so fantastic if no one felt the need to throw that in. It was a pretty edge of your seat mystery, with really likeable characters! And it had a good ending too.
