Shadows in the Sand

When international, political intrigue crashes headlong into the murkier world of the pharmaceutical industry, aided and abetted by MI5 and a chimpanzee named Molly, a rollercoaster ride of greed, death and betrayal can never be far away.
A new drug, Paxol, designed to help millions is fatally flawed. A fact, which puts Dr Ben Stroud, the discoverer of the new wonder drug, on a collision course with the CEO of the pharmaceutical company and places his family in the sights of local animal rights activists with devastating consequences.
From the sleepy academic world of Cambridge University, to the infamous Chinese detention centre at Qincheng, the ramifications for ignoring all the warning signs will be catastrophic.
Whilst for many, Paxol will be the answer to their prayers, for a few unsuspecting patients, it will be the gateway to hell and damnation. But for one man, the drug’s side effects will rip apart his family and plunge him into a world without memories, until finally, amongst the wind swept sand dunes of the North Devon coast, he finds his own inner peace and redemption.
