Two celebrated writers combine to offer the electrifying conclusion to a legendary mystery series… Detective Inspector Carol Ashton’s promotion to Chief Inspector has immediately ensnared her in two assignments that hold no warning they will forever change her life. She’s inherited the pressurized case of the high-profile death of media star and wealthy philanthropist Greta Denby, who had been undergoing a controversial experimental treatment for her cancer. Carol is now also taking on the case of the investigating officer Inspector Ian Rooke, who has himself just died under baffling circumstances—a demise made more mysterious by the inexplicable shoddiness of his investigation into Greta’s death. In this final chapter, Carol must confront an increasingly dire future and the most formidable challenge of all—her fundamental belief in her career, and in herself. Seventeenth in the Carol Ashton Series.
This first-person account by one of the pioneers of HIV/AIDS research chronicles the interaction among the pediatric HIV/AIDS community, regulatory bodies, governments, and activists over more than three decades. After the discovery of AIDS in a handful of infants in 1981, the next fifteen years showed remarkable scientific progress in prevention and treatment, although blood banks, drug companies, and bureaucrats were often slow to act. 1996 was a watershed year when scientific and clinical HIV experts called for treating all HIV-infected individuals with potent triple combinations of antiretroviral drugs that had been proven effective. Aggressive implementation of prevention and treatment in the United States led to marked declines in the number of HIV-related deaths, fewer new infections and hospital visits, and fewer than one hundred infants born infected each year. Inexplicably, the World Health Organization recommended withholding treatment for the majority of HIV-infected individuals in poor countries, and clinical researchers embarked on studies to evaluate inferior treatment approaches even while the pandemic continued to claim the lives of millions of women and children. Why did it take an additional twenty years for international health organizations to recommend the treatment and prevention measures that had had such a profound impact on the pandemic in wealthy countries? The surprising answers are likely to be debated by medical historians and ethicists. At last, in 2015, came a universal call for treating all HIV-infected individuals with triple-combination antiretroviral drugs. But this can only be accomplished if the mistakes of the past are rectified. The book ends with recommendations on how the pediatric HIV/AIDS epidemic can finally be brought to an end.
Lethal Options is meant to be a double entendre, encompassing both the options that people have in life and the mistakes they make in choosing from them, as well as stock options whose promise of quick wealth also can make people choose their fates badlyeven lethally. Two brothers, Johnny and Tommy Gavella, grow up in a poor immigrant Italian family in a tough city with apparently very different outcomes. Johnny turns to crime at a young age, convinced that this lifestyle is the right one for him, giving him the opportunity to be bold and rich, as well as independent from a family he finds embarrassing and stifling. Precepts that he garners from a fathers tough love and a twisted sense of justice and fairness fuel his drive toward a lifetime of crime. He pursues the company of a gang of young toughs led by Tony Poloso and proves to them that he is worthy of their trust and respect. Eventually, he makes his way to North Carolina, leaving his successful, unlawful career as well as his family behind. Now, eight years later, he is summoned back home because of his mothers serious illness. During his return, we learn much more about Johnny and his motives, his affair with Tommys girlfriend Rosalie, and his surprising provenance. His mother Maria tells him of her youth in Italy and her own passion for a young Baron who was brutally murdered, her revenge on the murderer and the stunning, surprising meaning it has for Johnny. Tommy wants to emulate his brother while growing up but is forced by Johnny, his family and circumstances to be the legitimate success of the Gavellas. He studies hard, goes to college and ends up with both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees, becoming the Vice President for Research and Development at Calara Pharmaceuticals. Leading an outwardly successful life, he finds himself in debt for a large amount due to a foolish, though perfectly honest, mistake in playing the stock market. In financial desperation, he obtains a loan from Johnnys old criminal protg Tony Poloso in return for a promise that they would both become extremely wealthy on stock options and a dramatic increase in Tommys companys value when the drug he is developing for them is approved for marketing. However, Tommy knows that the drug has severe safety problems and that the only way it would ever be approved would be to falsify data to make it appear safe and effective. In a clever scheme, he arranges to control the clinical trial for the new drug by essentially inventing patients but covering it up in a manner that appears to be foolproof. Unfortunately, a suspicious friend and a disgruntled employee eventually reveal the scheme and Tommys future comes crashing down with attendant, horrible consequences for him as a consequence of his now bad debt to Poloso.. During this time, Johnny is drawn into Tommys difficulties and obliged to make some difficult decisions about himself and his future. He is torn by his feelings toward Tommys wife Rosalie, his new and shocking knowledge about his mothers past and his own heritage, and a moral dilemma between his family obligations and a return to a past life that he thought was safely buried. Love, hate, pride, deception, sex, desire, money and murder, all options that are freely chosen and whose consequences surprise and sadden.

An unprecedented and terrifying bioterrorism plot threatens to kill millions in the midst of a divisive presidential election in this new thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series.
With America's health-care system in the midst of upheaval, and with government officials, physicians, and the public-at-large focused as never before on the cost and quality of these vital services, a hidden epidemic--medical malpractice--destroys hundreds of thousands of lives each year and is ignored by the majority of the medical establishment. Lethal Medicine is the first book to thoroughly examine malpractice, and its author, Harvey F. Wachsman, M.D., J.D., as both a respected neurosurgeon and the leading attorney in the field, is uniquely qualified to critique this problem from every angle. Using numerous case histories and authoritative data from university and government studies, Wachsman explodes the common myths that doctors are spending millions of dollars on "defensive medicine" and that the high cost of malpractice insurance is driving many doctors out of their practices. In fact, he argues that most malpractice cases actually do result from egregious abuses by doctors. Reviewing the latest court rulings and malpractice policies, Wachsman calls for the lgal community, government, and medical establishment to protect the public from the thousands of physicians who continue to practice irresponsible medicine without penalty. As Washington makes health care one of its highest priorities and the nation turns its attention to the issue, Lethal Medicine is a thoughtful yet urgent cry for reform by the nation's foremost expert on the topic.
