“A page-turner! Smart, fast-paced and surprising.” – Hank Phillippi Ryan, Mary Higgins Clark Award-Winner, Author of Say No More

Freshly minted college graduate Maggie O’Malley embarks on a career fueled by professional ambition and a desire to escape the past. As a pharmaceutical researcher, she’s determined to save lives from the shelter of her lab. But on her very first day she’s pulled into a world of uncertainty. Reminders appear on her phone for meetings she’s never scheduled with people she’s never met. People who end up dead. 

With help from her best friend, Maggie discovers the victims on her phone are connected to each other and her new employer. She soon unearths a treacherous plot that threatens her mission—and her life. Maggie must unlock deadly secrets to stop horrific abuses of power before death comes calling for her.

The page turning mystery is not a cozy. I stayed up late to finish it!

'Protocol' by Kathleen Valenti has brilliantly crafted words. They are almost poetic in her descriptions of Maggie's feelings about her mother's cancer. This is coupled with unrelenting tension, from the very first page of the book. I just couldn't see how this could turn out in any way other than despairingly. I was instructed, and led through a labyrinth of clues and concerns, all ending in a surprising and satisfying matter. What a sparkling first book in what I hope is a long-lived series!
