Advance Praise
Riaz is a doctor and knows all the medical lingo…he’s particularly good at creating rich characters with complex backstories and intriguing private lives…and the refreshingly original ending is far from the tidy closure that mystery readers have come to expect.

Riaz’s provocatively titled fiction debut makes an urgent viral thriller from contemporary life…Riaz offers smart thriller chills and a satisfying ending, but it’s in its thoughtful depiction of people and their lives and choices that The Vaccine gets under the skin.
