Adverse Events

Beschreibung

When a vaccine researcher vanishes just as her team is about to announce a big breakthrough, reporter Kate Bennett and Detective Peter Johnson have to figure out what she was hiding and who had the most to lose if she revealed the truth. Emily Gibson is a rising star in epidemiology. Smart, driven, devoted to making a difference. She's still working on her medical degree, but she's already played a major role in developing a vaccine that will save millions of lives. No one in the medical community doubts she'll be at the top of her field in a few short years. Her sudden disappearance on the eve of her biggest triumph raises suspicions about what she might have discovered. Still smarting from her last failed attempt to expose evil on her doorstep, reporter Kate Bennett latches on to the missing researcher's story. She's convinced someone wanted Emily out of the way and off the vaccine team. And when the main suspect lashes out at her, Kate prepares to exact revenge on the front page. Detective Peter Johnson longs to satisfy Kate's demand for justice. He's determined to deliver someone in handcuffs this time. But when the investigation takes an unexpected turn, he must choose between following the evidence and keeping his promise to make sure someone pays. To discover the truth, they'll have to sacrifice their assumptions and risk losing the one thing they've each fought so hard to protect. Adverse Events is contemporary Christian suspense that explores the intersection of faith and failure, and the limits of knowledge. If you like stories by Creston Mapes, Colleen Coble, and Christy Barritt, you'll love this series by Leigh Jones.

Autor

Leigh Jones started her writing career in elementary school with a story about an enterprising hamster making a bid to take over the world. But after college, she set all dreams of fiction writing aside to chase the daily adrenaline rush of seeing her byline in print. She covered school board meetings, city council intrigue, and the occasional heart-warming feature for several daily newspapers in Texas. She even covered a few murders and one very big hurricane.She never considered returning to fiction until she became an editor and no longer got to see her byline on the front page. Facing serious adrenaline withdrawals, she began plotting her first novel. Eight years later, it finally hit the virtual store shelves as Look The Other Way, book one in the Galveston Crime Scene series. Adverse Events, the second book in the series, came out a year later.When she's not writing fiction, Leigh works as the executive features editor at WORLD News Group, a national Christian media outlet that practices biblically objective journalism. There she shepherds long-form story projects for print and podcast.She lives with her husband and daughter near Houston.
