What’s it about? A virus is sweeping the globe and two opposing pharmaceutical companies are fighting over a vaccine…
When a mutated form of lujo virus begins to sweep the globe, it’s all hands on deck at Empire Pharmaceuticals, the only drug company with the resources and distribution channels to get a vaccine out in time. But a competitor holds the patent on the vaccine, and, when a court orders Empire to stand down, the executive team must choose between what is right and what is legal—and the clock is ticking. Choices are complicated and old loyalties are tested when questions begin to swirl about how the mutation occurred in the first place.
The book follows Jackie Parker, Empire’s new Senior Vice President of Litigation, as she navigates her new role in the crucible of a pandemic, wrestling with her duty to Empire, the public, herself, and a visitor from her past who seems determined not to let her move on.
