Bite

Tomorrow should be the greatest day of Erica Stroud-Jones's life. The brilliant young British scientist has found a revolutionary way to beat a deadly tropical disease.


Millions of lives could be saved, a Nobel Prize beckons.


She is in Amsterdam. Tomorrow she presents her secret research to a scientific conference. Watching her will be sceptics and rivals, admirers and enemies. Erica's own eyes will be on sculptor Max Carver, her new American love, to whom she wants to dedicate her achievement.


Tomorrow never comes.


Erica vanishes during the night. Max, a tough former coast guard, is determined to find her. As he digs for clues he finds jealousy, malice  and cunning. But even he is shocked by the dark terror he finds at the heart of the woman he loves.


Not only a page-turner, Bite gets to the core of the debate about pharmaceutical ethics.
