About this ebook
Thirteen-year-old diabetic Angela Calvecchi has died following treatment with the experimental drug Mercipine. Despite the overwhelming odds against winning the case, her parents decide to file a wrongful death suit against the giant corporation Mercer Pharmaceuticals. In state civil court, Attorney Marcus Allen, Jr. and his partner Candace White, argue that the outdated procedures used by the company, and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, were inadequate to ensure the safety of the drug for use in clinical trials. This gripping courtroom drama will have you turning the pages until a verdict is rendered
