The working title of my current Medical Thriller is ‘HOLOGRAM’ - which I particularly like, since most people who use Prescription Medicines are famliar with the Holographic anti-counterfeit tags used by Pharmaceutical companies for the more expensive items.

The impact of Counterfeit Medicines on the poorest, and most disenfranchised groups of peopl earound the world, forms the basis of the storyline in Hologram. The truly International nature of the Counterfeit Medicine trade is reflected in the range of locations used in the story.

The initial scenes are set in the High Northern Himalyas in Nepal, and these traumatic events draw my main characters from the Pinot Noir vineyards of Oregon state, bustling London streets, and the beaches of Kerala, India to congregate in the slums of Kathmandu.

The huge recent upsurge in Counterfeit Medicine trade outside of developing countries raises some critical questions to Healthcare providers across the west. and over the next few weeks I hope to add more Resource Material on the background and range of this trade in death in the Story Behind the Book section.
