The Protocol

By April Christofferson

Book Overview

Jennifer Rockhill's plans for revenge fall into place the day she's hired as the corporate attorney for a Seattle biotech firm because it allows her to get tantalizingly close to Dr. Sherwood Fielding, the man who killed her husband. Jennifer has to prove that Dr. Fielding funded his biotech firm by dealing in illegally obtained human organs - including her husband's -- for transplant into the bodies of people who could pay almost any price to extend their lives. But that's not the worst of Sherwood Fielding's trangressions against nature, as Jennifer soon finds out. Working on the cutting edge of a lucrative field like genetics is risky - and Jennifer finds herself in a maelstrom of murder, industrial espionage, deceit and personal betrayal. Embroiled in a plot of unimaginable medical perversion, Jennifer must fight for the truth about the science being done at the firm. Especially as it leads her to the truth of how and why her husband died.

Customer Reviews

Page Turner!!

Definitely a Page Turner!! This suspenseful thriller kept me hooked right up to the very last page!! The character development was terrific, with no confusing jumping back and forth. Some medical thrillers get too uncomfortable for me, but PROTOCOL is one that took me to the edge,, but didn't step over. It was fast paced, yet it flowed easily. I enjoyed the relationship building between the main players. If this was April Christofferson's 1st book, then I can't wait to read her next ones!

NOT A BAD READ

I agree with the last reviewer who said that the author did not tie up her loose ends properly. There were quite a few left dangling at the end - some intentionally, I suppose. But there was something quite unsatisfying about the ending of this book. This is the second book I have read within the last few weeks that left too many ends dangling - the other was Do You Want to Know a Secret? by Mary Jane Clark. (Hey, editors - can you crack down on this, please!)

A new and prophetic voice in suspense fiction

A new and prophetic voice in suspense fiction. Christofferson leads us through a sinister, covert world of biotechnology in which industrial espionage in the pursuit of the latest life-saving drugs, and human organ replacement by theft and murder are standard. This harrowing novel, filled with the author's expertise in the biotech field, makes it clear that no one will ever be safe from the ungoverned scientific experiments that await us.
