Cold Blood by C. H. King When a medical breakthrough threatens powerful interests, progress becomes negotiable. Cold Blood is a thrilling story grounded in realism and set in a world where progress is not driven solely by discovery, but by who stands to gain – and who stands to lose. It explores the tension between public good and private influence, and consequences when scientific advancement collides with money, influence, and fear. Jack, a former Australian government agent, and Kelly, a doctor, must work together to save their daughters after Jack’s daughter is kidnapped and Kelly’s is involved in a life altering accident. They soon discover saving lives is only part of the equation. As political pressure mounts and corporate interests close in, the truth becomes contested. Silence is rewarded, and the cost of speaking out escalates. Can Jack and Kelly find what they’re seeking before it’s too late?
