The York Protocol. Murder, Fraud And Corporate Espionage - Robert Lancaster

A dead researcher. A fraudulent miracle drug. And secrets worth killing to protect.

Retired MI5 officer Evelyn Harrington thought she was investigating pharmaceutical fraud-until the lead researcher turned up dead hours before their crucial meeting. Now she's hunting a murderer with medical knowledge and a fortune at stake.

Mystery writer Lionel Danbury came to York for a literary festival, not another murder case. But when Evelyn needs his research expertise, their partnership resumes-along with the attraction they've been carefully ignoring since Cornwall.

As they expose systematic fraud in Alzheimer's drug trials, the investigation turns deadly. Someone at Thornfield Pharmaceuticals has killed before and won't hesitate to kill again. And this time, Evelyn and Lionel aren't just risking their lives-they're risking their hearts.

An intelligent British mystery with pharmaceutical intrigue and slow-burn romance.
