MESS(H)ED UP - The Story Of A Devices Scandal Volume 1

J L Rogers

Sinopsis

In volume I of this series, we get to know our heroes, Gloria, Melissa, and Augustine, who work for a pharmaceutical company called MINERVA, which is staffed by an array of colourful characters with whom we have all worked (whether we like it or not) over the years. Despite their encounters with these awful people, like the office bore, the letch, and the bully, together they begin to uncover information that the company has tried to hide, and start to unpick MINERVA’s dirty secret. This book is for anyone and everyone who has worked in an office. The characters are recognisable, regardless in which sector you work. It is also about the unbelievable story of a device scandal, where people were left with irreversible physical and mental damage, caused by the implant of a device. Although it is unlikely that anyone working for the company set out to cause such harm, once it became aware of the situation, colleagues colluded to cover up the facts and this corruption went on for many years. It took whistle blowers like the heroes in our story to bring the truth to light and make the public aware of what was really going on.

Death Steals the Spotlight

T. C. LoTempio

It's exit stage left, permanently, for a big-time director who lands the starring role in an unscripted death scene . . .  
 
 
 
Desperate to find a director for their annual production, the Fox Hollow Players have a stroke of luck when Shell McMillan's actress mother lands a prominent theater director for the job. He's more gruff and demanding than the small-town cast and crew are used to, but his soft side for animals quickly endears him to pet shop owner Shell. Persuading her to let him use a shed on her property where he can work in peace, Shell is horrified when she finds his dead body there. And with obvious signs of foul play, she can't help but investigate the murder. 
 
 
 
As she digs into the man's past, it becomes apparent that at one point or another he was romantically entangled with just about every woman involved in the play. And just when Shell discovers he may have been blackmailing one of them, other clues surface that suggest a more sinister motive. With her hands already full with a beautiful stray cat she found and christened Princess Fuzzypants, Shell will have to fill two roles, caring for the Maine coon and trying to track down the killer before it's her turn for a fatal curtain call . . .
