A Hard Death - A Novel

Jonathan Hayes

Sinossi

Forensic pathologist Edward Jenner survived the horrific ordeal of the Inquisitor serial slayings in New York, but not the political fallout. With his state medical license suspended, he hopes to repair his shattered life while working as a medical examiner in Douglas County, Florida. But evil is not confined to big cities alone.Two corpses pulled from a sunken car—followed by the grisly discovery of four more bodies hanging in the Everglades—are evidence of an insidious rot infecting this quiet coastal resort community. Suddenly Jenner's investigation is turning up grim traces of a nightmarish conspiracy—and with no one to trust and nowhere to turn, his only hope of survival is to walk away . . . something Jenner could never do.

Naturally the stories include the best and worst of the human experience, so we have conspiracies, murder, mayhem, rape and revenge. 
The members of “The Society”, all have contracted the exact same lethal non-communicable cancer. For the last 50 plus years they have been fighting the battle against ecological degradation of the planet in their own way. They have also been advocating the use of a “new” cure for alcoholism that has been successfully used in Europe and legal in the USA since 1994. Both causes pit them against, multibillion dollar interest of the fossil fuel interest and the 176 Billion dollar a year Rehab revolving door. Is it just a coincidence that all six people have the same lethal cancer? 
Enjoy knowing that are also a part of a literary first, a little piece of history, without the police being called, a war or natural disaster, or having some special talent that only others can dream of having. At the time of the initial authorship and initial publication, this story is the first time the Sinclair Method for the treatment of Alcoholism is part of the plot. While this story is a work of fiction, the science, including a new and exciting method of treating alcohol use disorder (alcoholism) with a 78% verifiable success rate, is worth further review. There are books and videos about it and you can read Claudia Christian’s story on the CThreeFoundation.org website for yourself or watch “One Little Pill”. In the meantime, half of the net proceeds due the author is contributed to the CThreeFoundation, so buy many copies and do a good deed. A large print physical copy of the book available in addition to eBook and Audio book formats.
