State Representative Roger Steppe will not admit it aloud, but he hates reading bills.  It is far easier for Roger to vote as asked by lobbyists.  Each lobbyist gets a turn at choosing Roger's vote, and someone is definitely not happy.  After coming home from dinner, a dinner that he finagled from his selection for lobbyist of the moment, Roger is beaten and then his throat is slit.

Elizabeth Ralston, considered to be an extremely honorable politician, is nominated to finish Roger's term.  Elizabeth has no idea that her votes will determine whether she lives or dies.  What appears to be a simple case of voting to represent the public turns into something far more deadly.

Wyatt Blanton is a popular physician's son who turned to a legal career, despite his father's surprise.  Wyatt accepts an internship with one of the chief lobbyists for Indiana Physicians.  Wyatt has no idea that politics could be so dangerous.

Thus, the stage is set for Mike Abram's LETHAL REMEDY.  In the opening, a number of players are introduced.  I will be the first to admit that politics is not one of my interests.  It took me a while to become accustomed with each character's role, but that was quickly resolved by taking a few notes.  From that point, the story kicked into high gear.  I think anyone with a strong interest in politics will be delighted with this novel.
