Quick Overview
Recently divorced surgeon Dr Kim Reggis is determined to remain a good father to his only child, Becky. One night he takes her to a fast-food restaurant for a feast of burgers and fries. But tragedy strikes when the young girl falls ill. She dies horrifically several days later as a result of poisoning by E.coli bacteria. Everything suggests her death was the result of shoddy food-handling practices, but who is going to admit to that
Recently divorced surgeon Dr Kim Reggis is determined to remain a good father to his only child, Becky. One night he takes her to a fast-food restaurant for a feast of burgers and fries. But tragedy strikes when the young girl falls ill. She dies horrifically several days later as a result of poisoning by E.coli bacteria. Everything suggests her death was the result of shoddy food-handling practices, but who is going to admit to that? Frantic with grief, Kim throws all his energies into tracing the cause of the contamination. He is well prepared for the bureaucratic indifference, but is soon met with terrifying violence as powerful vested interests conspire to discourage his enquiries. Aided by his ex-wife, Kim pursues a deadly trail of complicity and guilt stretching from the slaughterhouse floor to the corporate boardroom. And, in a race against time before others are poisoned they finally come face to face with the shocking and elusive truth.....meanwhile putting their own lives in extreme danger.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
