SYNOPSIS:

Paul Randall needed to start over, and Crescent Cove, California looked like the ideal place for the widowed pharmacist to begin again. Soon after purchasing a small, quaint pharmacy, however, Paul discovers there is something evil lurking in the town's past. This fact becomes disturbingly obvious when Paul finds Bria Georgopolis cowering on the side of the freeway. She unveils an eerie truth about a nearby hospital that places coporate profits above the sanctity of human life. And now it is up to the two loners to expose the monstrous evil there--before their new beginnings lead to a very dead end.

REVIEWS:

2008 Whitney Award Finalist!

Gregg Luke has written a tremendous page-turning novel that reminded me of the medical thrillers written by Robin Cook. It would be a shame to miss this highly suspenseful, very believable book. --Clair Poulson, Covenant best-selling author.

What an exciting read! Do No Harm flows with so much detail and character development you feel like you are actually experiencing the drama and intrigue firsthand. I loved it. Watch out Tom and Clive, Gregg Luke is another great storyteller. --Todd A. Brown, MD, PC

Do No Harm starts off at 100 miles an hour and doesn't seem to slow until the perilous, breath-taking ending. Warning: This book should come with seatbelts! --Gray Durfey, R.Ph.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

This novel is one I've been wanting to write for some time. It is a bit of an autobiography in that all of the pharmacy-customer anecdotes Paul experiences are ones I've really had. Some come across as unbelievable, but trust me, I've had worse--many of which are unsuitable for LDS fiction. I guess it comes with dealing with the public. The aspects of illegal drug testing are somewhat embellished for a greater "thrill" content, but that does not mean it does not occur. Drug research is a multi-billion dollar business. And while the majority of it is ethical and legal, I'm certain some is accomplished "underground"--especially in unregulated countries. The pharmacy Paul buys is my dream business setting. I am as old fashioned as Paul is. I would love to own a turn-of-the-century apothecary with a soda fountain and big band music in the background. Sigh. Someday... Oh, and for some good news: the CD audio book is unabridged.
