Intelligent, Thrilling, Resonating -- Movie Ready

Dr. Thomas Briggs exposes both the unfortunate and fortunate truth of human nature using Jack Ryan style. For every greedy, self-serving character, the author balances it with one equally generous and altruistic. The book is filled with so much detail, that I imagine more than a few Non-Profits executives are deleting files and packing bags. A great read for those that like strong characters, adventure, and don't mind re-thinking.

Death of a cure

I loved this book! I could not put it down it is a good murder mistery! And to the very end it never stops! When I started the book I thought it might be a boy book, but after the first 10 pages or so I could not stop! It has a pretty woman touch to it, the rich man, the limo the girl! What else could you want!

Death of a Cure

This should be required reading for anyone involved in non-profit fund raising organizations... how much of your donation goes towards self-preservation and administration as opposed to solving the disease or problem they were once set up to conquer? Steven Jackson rolls all this into a matrix of mystery and reveals the inner workings (from professional experience) of these not so wonderful charities. An exciting read that will keep you up to the wee hours and make you ask the same question every time someone asks you for a donation.... what is their real mission?

Death of a Cure

I just finished Death of a Cure. Awesome summer read. Fast paced, murder mystery based on the truth about health care charities. I highly recommend it. Jeff Evert

What about your favorite charity?

This was a great read! It was suspensuful and the characters believable. The novel was well developed, as it progressed it made me wonder about my favorite charities. You can be sure that from now on I will research a charity thoroughly before I give of my time and money to support it. One wonders if things like this could really happen, or perhaps they do...... A great first novel!
