Strange symptoms. Bloody secrets. Can one reporter solve a medical mystery before she ends up in a body bag?
Jordan Reed put her world on hold to hunt down corruption. So when the gutsy journalist gets tipped off about blood money changing hands at a pharmaceutical factory, she dives into the story. With an otherwise healthy worker dropping dead of multiple organ failure, Jordan suspects something far more sinister than a simple accident…
Daring to go up against big pharma, she gains an ally on the inside and recruits two friends to join the investigation. But after a string of false leads and tight-lipped witnesses, she ties her case to disturbingly similar evidence in a medical trial on the other side of the globe. And if she doesn’t expose the lethal conspiracy soon, Jordan is terrified she and her team could be the next victims of the lethal cover-up.
Can Jordan take down a greedy corporation before they sacrifice more lives in the drive for profit?

About the Author:
K.C. (Kevin) Gillis is the author of the Jordan Reed mystery series. Despite being a lifelong lover of stories and books, writing took a distant back seat as his professional career travelled through the Canadian Air Force, a decade as a chemist, followed by a long and continuing run in corporate America. With writing no longer in the back seat (but not quite yet in the front seat), Kevin now has the Jordan Reed series well underway. His personal interests focus on endurance and water sports. Having grown up in the Canadian Maritimes, he now lives in the US northeast.

Toxic Deception Review:
“Toxic Deception” is an excellent start to the Jordan Reed Mystery series, and it did not disappoint.
I adored Jordan and felt the author wrote her well. What I liked about Jordan’s character is how down to Earth she comes across. She is not a superhero or someone who has a special gift or ability to solve crimes. She is inquisitive, tries her best, and makes mistakes along the process. For instance, I liked how she realizes when she goofed up on Neil finding out but tries to backtrack and see where she went wrong. Moreover, I enjoyed how the author balanced the mystery with Jordan’s personal life. Jordan has a history with both Charlie and Travis, and it was entertaining to see the scenes where they fight for her.
Moreover, I also liked the thrilling plot around GenPhage. The author starts off the mystery as a simple story on what happened to Eric Smith. But as Jordan starts investigating, you see how big the scheme encompasses. It was exciting to see how Jordan and Neil face off each other. Interestingly, Neil uses Carter and his money to plan on Jordan, but Jordan uses her regular resources to up his game. I was also surprised to see how Jordan and Neil connected in other ways.
However, I wish the ending had been grand. For all the buildup the author does, I felt like the climax resolved pretty quickly. It would have been nice if the author had added more exciting moments towards the end.
Apart from that, I enjoyed the story and thought it was a great start to the Jordan Reed Mystery series. I would love to read the future installments of the series because of Jordan Reed..
