Strong Medicine:a Novel

Description

Miracle drugs save lives and ease suffering, but for profit-motivated companies the miracle is the money they generate . . . at any cost. Billions of dollars in profits will make men and women do many things—lie, cheat, even kill. Now, one beautiful woman will be caught in the cross fire between ethics and profits.

As Celia Jordan's fast-track career sweeps her into the highest circles of an international drug company, she begins to discover the sins and secrets hidden in the research lab . . . and in the marketplace. Now the company's powerful new drug promises a breakthrough in treating a deadly disease. But Celia Jordan knows it may deliver a nightmare.

About the Author

Arthur Hailey was a British/Canadian novelist. After working at a number of jobs and writing part-time, he became a writer full-time during 1956, encouraged by the success of the CBC television drama,Flight into Danger(in print asRunway Zero Eight). Following the success ofHotelin 1965, he moved to California; followed by a permanent move to the Bahamas in 1969.Each of his novels has a different industrial or commercial setting and includes, in addition to dramatic human conflict, carefully researched information about the way that particular environment and system functions and how these affect society and its inhabitants.Critics often dismissed Hailey's success as the result of a formulaic "potboiler" style, in which he caused an ordinary character to become involved in a crisis, then increased the suspense by switching among multiple related plot lines.Hailey would spend approximately one year researching a subject, followed by six months reviewing his notes and, finally, about 18 months writing the book.Many of his books reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and more than 170 million copies have been sold worldwide in 40 languages. Many have been made into movies andHotelwas made into a long-running television series.Airportbecame a successful film with dramatic visual effects.A Canadian citizen whose children live in Canada and California, Hailey made his home in Lyford Cay, an exclusive residential resort on New Providence Island in the Bahamas with his second wife Sheila.In 2002, Hailey told John Marquis, editor of the Bahamas' principal daily newspaperThe Tribune, that he was lucky in having supportive parents who encouraged him to believe in himself. Brought up in a working-class home, Hailey never lost the common touch following his phenomenal success. 'I have worked hard, but I have also been very lucky,' he said.
