This book is definitely an adrenaline rush pumper! Don't get 'blown' away when you read it. Prescription drugs, black market drugs, large pharmaceuticals, entanglement and undercover woman coerced by Tom, Goliat and Ellis into a ruthless, brutal gang and drug war turf takeover about blows Alison away as she gets drawn in, or should that be 'dragged' in. Her contentious, yet loved teenage daughter Sarah, in potential danger if Alison doesn't do what's required, is overseen by a so-called boyfriend named Miguel, looking out, supposedly, for her interests.
I could see their point to some degree but of course don't condone the black market philosophy that seeps into this book and comes out the the characters' mouths to help Alison justify, in her mind, what is going on vs the hypocracy of the 'legit' pharma people. Danger lurks no matter what and the users pay the price and the justification still does not convince me, at least. I was disappointed with Alison's new perspective but all part and parcel of the web of the book's provocation, I believe. Just hope her cover doesn't get blown!
Pharmacists and drug lords, alike will love this book, I bet. Maybe even the FBI agents, although not entirely seen in positive light (Ellis was trying to help, I think). Together with other readers, they may all become addicted to such suspense and thrillers especially if Nolon King's authorcraft has anything to do with it!
