Medicus

Lisa Parmenter, wife, mother, and system architect at a large software development firm, is widowed on page one. Was husband Earl's death an accident—a matter of "wrong place, wrong time"? Or was he a victim of corrupt policies perpetrated by his sadistic former employer, MEDICUS Corporation? When she learns the truth, Lisa bursts out of her mourning malaise and embarks on a course of bloody revenge. Fired by indignation and a fierce determination to protect her children, Lisa becomes a formidable tornado of focused energy. There is no peace for Lisa until Earl's death is avenged, MEDICUS is de-fanged, and her family's safety is assured. MEDICUS is a work of explosive force, at once a page-turning thriller, an exhilarating study of vengeance deftly achieved, and a pitch black comedy. Through Lisa and an engaging cast of characters, MEDICUS explores an array of themes—a mother's grief and emotional recovery. The challenge of shepherding three precocious children through a labyrinth of harrowing circumstances. And, finally, an engaging love story forged by a shared crisis.
