Prescription for Murder

A Maya Thorne Australian Outback Thriller

De: Phillip Strang

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

What begins as a straightforward homicide quickly evolves into something far more sinister when Detective Maya Thorne discovers evidence of Dr Lawson's medical negligence and drug addiction that led to patients' deaths. As she digs deeper, a complex web of protection and corruption emerges, involving town officials who chose maintaining healthcare over patient safety.

When council member James Wilson becomes the prime suspect, Maya uncovers his desperate arrangement with Lawson—protection in exchange for experimental treatment for Wilson's chronically ill wife. With evidence mounting of a systemic cover-up extending to regional health administrators, Maya must navigate both professional investigation and the community's fear of losing their only doctor.

As rural necessity collides with professional ethics, each revelation tests Maya's determination. The vast, parched landscape mirrors the moral drought affecting Warragulla's leadership, where calculation replaced compassion and rural healthcare challenges twisted into justification for negligence.

Maya must expose the full extent of corruption while a desperate suspect threatens anything standing in his way. In a community where failure caused preventable deaths, Maya discovers the most dangerous prescription was written not by the doctor, but by those who protected him at any cost.
