Searching for the truth just turned deadly. Disgraced investigative journalist Pip West is devastated when she discovers her best friend's body facedown in a tranquil lake. When cops and federal agents determine her friend overdosed and then drowned, Pip knows they're mistaken and intends to prove it. Special Agent Hunt Kincaid doesn't trust journalists and has no patience for Pip's delusions, especially since her meddling could reveal why the FBI is interested in her friend's last days. The dead scientist worked at the cutting edge of vaccine research and might have a connection to a new, weaponized, vaccine-resistant anthrax strain that just hit the black market. Pip is thrown off her game by grief and her unexpected attraction to the handsome federal agent. Hunt battles the same unwelcome pull, determined to resist the heat that threatens to consume them both. But the more Pip digs, the closer she gets to both the sexy FBI agent and to a bioweapons terrorist who's more than capable of cold-bloodedly sacrificing anyone who gets in his way.

They also may be charged with criminal offenses and their officials sent to prison.A revised version of the first edition, titled Corporate Crime Under Attack: The Ford Pinto Case and Beyond -- an endeavor prompted in part by the Ford Pinto case's twenty-fifth anniversary and the corresponding recognition of the continuing significance of the issues this prosecution raised and of the important developments that have transpired in the intervening years. In addition to the new, more descriptive subtitle, the book has been substantially remodeled and new sections added.
