False Negative - Anthony Frazer

The vaccine works. The data says it doesn't. Someone made sure of that.

Bartholomew Aldridge investigates corporate crime - the kind that happens behind boardroom doors, inside data systems, in the space between what companies say and what they do. When an insurer hires his four-person team to examine a failed clinical trial for a pandemic vaccine, the question seems simple: is the failure real?

It isn't. The trial data has been systematically corrupted. A vaccine that could save thousands of lives has been made to look like it doesn't work.

Finding the sabotage was the first problem. Finding who did it - and discovering that the trail leads in two directions at once, one toward corporate greed and the other toward something more dangerous - is the problem that could cost Aldridge everything.

The clock is running. The FDA is closing in on a decision. And the people behind the sabotage know someone is looking.
