Immortal Lies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781712796672)

At Last For those who loved "Improved Lies", the wait is over. Attorney Ken Edwards is back in a life and death case for the ages. "Pride is a deadly sin. I warned my husband, Jon. He called their wonder drug his little vanity. That vanity killed him." Tears fell on the open pages of the photo album in Rita Cole's lap. She motioned Ken to come around his desk and see for himself. That album would lure Ken into the world of leading edge bio-science; fresh as tomorrow's headlines and as old as greed, lust, and death. Looking at the pictures, Ken was amazed. "His hair grew back. His wrinkles are gone. He looks like he's getting younger." Rita nodded."Yet. you say it killed him?" Another nod and Ken was hooked. Before long Edwards would be fighting to keep his head above the roiling waters of cutting edge cellular science. Restoration BioPharma claims their drug, in phase 3 FDA trials, harnesses the enzyme telomerase to rejuvenate human cells. Alas, that enzyme is also the jet fuel for cancer cells. Restoration is the corporate darling of Lake Pointe. The word "Immortality" is whispered on Wall Street as their I.P.O. arcs skyward .Whether their drug is a sip from the Fountain of Youth is at issue. But there is no disputing that it has rejuvenated a sleepy old lumbering town and made Lake Pointe the hottest thing in biotech. Prosperity has arrived. Many are determined that it lasts; no matter the cost. When Edwards files suit for the family of Jon Cole, he disturbs a beehive of vested interests. Big money, civic boosters, and blind ambition conspire to protect their honeypot. They know where the bodies are buried. If a few more must die, so be it. After all the cause is noble. Isn't it? Kidnapping, extortion, rape and even murder are small prices for such a marvelous advance. Edwards is in the way. Sacrifices must be made. As the story opens, Ken makes a former adversary, Tina Botham, his partner. She will prove a most spirited and worthy addition to the firm. It will soon be "All hands on deck " against an armada of enemies, upon a sea of troubles. The opposition is captained by Willard Grimm Esq. He is "Defense Attorney of the Year". He doesn't settle and he doesn't lose. This epic saga weaves its way through multiple courtrooms and legal skirmishes with a cast of fascinating characters. Some you'll love. Some you'll love to hate. Join in the search for why Jon died. Follow the evidence of why others had to join him in death? Is this elixir of youth as good as promised? Sit on the panel in this trial of science versus faith. The jury must separate eternal truths from immortal lies."
