Fatal Conspiracies - Paperback

Greed! Envy! Revenge! Conspiracy! Murder!

R. F. Mineo's Fatal Conspiracies is a prescription for an exciting literary ride. It has more than the required active ingredients for intrigue, suspense, and surprise. Mineo's debut novel is a thrilling page-turner. Follow his characters as some take unimaginable risks and others try to find justice for those wronged. One slip or one erroneous move, and medicine turns to poison. And for some, that will mean falling victim to the ultimate - the fatal - conspiracies.

Mineo takes a deep dive into the world of big Pharma-the therapies, the drive for more profits, and the people, scientists, and executives who get those prescription tablets to your local pharmacy.

Just as pharmaceutical scientists form tablets under pressure, the laboratory staff and executives at Purity Pharmaceuticals toil under an enormous force. The heavyweights of big Pharma - of meeting physical quality standards, perfectly targeting regulatory requirements, and maintaining the leanest staff in the name of making the most profit - bear down on everyone in Mineo's fascinating story.

No one can escape the toil. The challenge pushes some to engage in deceptive and wicked corporate games involving dangerous alliances and unethical staff reductions. Others on the front lines in the labs feel powerless and make the difficult decision to cut quality in an industry where precision is paramount. And finally, others involved choose to conspire.

Who makes up this conspiratorial nexus? Is it a lone agent or a group who finds they share something, whether it be anger, greed, envy, or revenge? Who will be targeted by these evil forces? And how? What's the thinking, and what price will be paid?
