The Mercy Protocol

In the quiet town of Ashwick Harbor, a string of natural-seeming deaths at the Sea Breeze Care Home masks a chilling truth. Journalist Lena Kessler uncovers that pharmaceutical giant NexVant is using elderly residents as unwilling subjects for a lethal drug trial, burying catastrophic side effects. As the body count rises, the investigation becomes a duel between an invisible, medically sophisticated killer and a police force shackled by outdated forensic thinking. What appears to be a perfect, genius crime is merely a reflection of how far behind the system has fallen.
