Synopsis

Charlie Thomas is the director of purchasing for a mid-sized pharmaceutical distributor. She purchases pharmaceuticals from manufacturers for three of the company's four distribution centers. The lone standout, and most profitable facility is run by Stanley Forsythe, Charlie's egotistical nemesis with entitlement issues who trades with alternate source vendors in the high risk grey market. The owner of the company looks the other way because Stanley's distribution center is more profitable than the other three combined.

Charlie refuses to "pollute her supply chain" with Stanley's suspect product and trading partners; but when the company is acquired by one of the big three wholesalers, she is relocated to Stanley's "criminal enterprise" and the fight for product integrity and patient safety versus corporate profit and individual greed reaches well beyond Charlie and her epic battles with Stanley. Charlie is given the authority to the FDA, FBI and State Attorneys General try to contain or eliminate the flow of counterfeit and adulterated drugs, and prosecute the dirty players involved.

Charlie loves jazz, and has a weakness for jazz musicians. Nicknamed 'brown liquor' in college, Charlie's father raised her on Crown Royal so no man could get her drunk and take advantage; he would tap out before did. Her father also taught her how to defend herself, a skill she would need when someone tries to silence her.
