Poison Pill

“When the treatment is worse than the disease, its maker better pay for all the lives destroyed.”


Dr. Mark Lin hates greedy drug companies, along with herbal supplements that can
sometimes do more harm than good. Two medical mysteries force him to confront
both.


First, a young man, only in his twenties, suffers from debilitating kidney failure. The
only clue is his use of a mysterious herbal product for weight loss. Meanwhile,
a patient has trouble breathing for unclear reasons, though Mark worries about the
anti-obesity drug he started taking. Things truly get nightmarish when one of
those pills strikes with lethal force, compelling Mark to take action.


Mark now finds himself navigating a web of deceit within the shadows of two rival
industries: herbaceutical and pharmaceutical. He will uncover secrets about
their so-called miracle cures, confront a company spokesman, and face a pair of
aggressive salespeople. But once he puts everything on the line and discovers
the true conspiracy, his only mission is to prevent catastrophic death, not
just for the public but also himself.


Poison Pill is Anthony Lee’s medical thriller tackling dual methods of healing and the
shady practices that do real harm to everyday people.
