Shadow of Eden

Chillingly plausible and terrifying. You'll never take another pill without thinking of Shadow of Eden. Peter Glassman MD, author of THE HELIOS RAIN.Eden, the miraculous new weight loss drug, rips through a society intoxicated by the allure of attainable physical perfection. It is at once more ubiquitous than Tylenol and more fabled than Viagra . . . yet it harbors a deadly secret, putting millions at risk. Faced with the puzzle of a crazed airline pilot and a young woman with horrifying delusions, Dr. Steve James discovers Eden's fatal flaw and suddenly finds himself, and his family, in the crosshairs of a determined assassin. In Washington, D.C., bewildered White House staffers and Cabinet members scramble to cover up President Dixon's alarmingly erratic behavior while managing an escalating confrontation with China. Dr. James, running from the relentless contract killer, realizes he alone may know what is wrong with the President-with less than twenty-four hours before war begins with China.Beginning with a terrifying dive in a 747, through state of the art medical sleuthing, high stakes political brinksmanship and calculating corporate treachery, Shadow of Eden takes the reader on a non-stop, rollercoaster of intrigue, murder, corruption and sabotage.

Louis Kirby is an internationally recognized neurologist who specializes in neurodegenerative diseases, chiefly Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Throughout his life he has always been drawn to writing. While in medical school he published two of his stories, one landing him in hot water with the Dean of Medicine. While in clinical practice, Dr. Kirby founded Pivotal Research Centers in Phoenix, a research facility that specialized in human drug testing. Pivotal rapidly grew into one of the nation's largest medical research centers of its kind. During this time, Dr. Kirby served as principal investigator on nearly 400 clinical trials. He frequently gave presentations at national and international conferences on drug development and consulted for the government and the pharmaceutical industry. After selling Pivotal Research Centers to a publicly held company, he served for a year as Chief Medical Officer for Provista Life Sciences, a biotech firm working with Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Kirby currently serves on the scientific advisory boards of the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center, and the Arizona Alzheimer's Association. He is a scientific advisor for several companies, including the Critical Path Institute, a non-profit organization working with the FDA in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. He consults for biotech and pharmaceutical companies on a part time basis and regularly speaks at scientific gatherings. Dr. Kirby enjoys the wide-open skies (and dry heat) of Phoenix with his beautiful wife and daughter
