The Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm...

Dr Rea Dharmasena is devastated when she loses out on her dream research job to her med-school rival, Dr Julia Stone.

When it comes to light that Julia got the job using Rea's own cutting edge research, Rea just can't let it go. Until finally, just after a life-changing medical discovery, Julia is found dead.

Now Rea has the dream job she's always wanted.

A job she would kill for.

Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient and Grey's Anatomy, Deadly Cure is a thrilling story with a compelling hook - is there a toxic flip-side to the human urge to 'cure'? And how much can really you trust your best friend?

Critic reviews

DEADLY CURE is a gripping, exhilarating read. I loved the medical setting, clearly written with the benefit of experience and authority, the high stakes plotting, the twists and turns. It's an addictive read that ramps up the tension again and again, and that took me to a place I hadn't seen coming at all. I loved it.
A taut, sizzling thriller with, at its heart, a friendship gone badly wrong. Addictive and brilliant.
The line between female friendship and rivalry blurs to deadly effect in this pacy, authentic medical thriller which grabs the reader by the heart from the first pages and ramps up the tension to the last. A stellar, shivers-down-the-spine debut.

I was expecting more like her other book, but this was far more gritty and clever. Definitely worth a read.

Very different but exciting
