Summary

WINNER - BEST MEDICAL THRILLER - Independent Press Award 2023
WINNER - BEST MEDICAL THRILLER - National Indie Excellence Awards 2023
WINNER - Literary Titan Book Award

A first-year medical student determined to do everything right...discovers something very wrong. Now somebody wants her dead.

Tanna Christensen spent countless hours planning for her first gross anatomy dissection, but nothing could have prepared her for what she’s found. Beneath her scalpel lies a cadaver riddled with disturbing genetic abnormalities—evidence pointing to an unthinkable crime.

Tanna believes her discovery is the tip of a terrifying secret that goes far deeper than a single corpse. But when her investigation leads to a brutal murder, a lethal cover-up threatens to destroy the future she once dreamed of.

And now she’s the next target.

Afraid and on the run, Tanna must expose the truth before more lives are lost—including her own. Or is it already too late?

The First Harm is a fast-paced thrill ride with surprising twists that will captivate fans of A.G. Riddle, Robin Cook, CJ Lyons, Dan Alatorre, and Michael Crichton. Grab your copy now!

Original and exciting medical thriller

This story follows the adventures of a medical student who accidentally discovers an unusual growth on a cadaver that she is dissecting. This leads to her roommate being murdered and her being the target of a professional hitman. she discovers that a medical company is carrying out illegal trials and will do anything to cover their activities. Aided by a recovering junkie motocross rider she faces all sorts of threats and problems.
This is a very fast paced adventure, exciting and with a lot of interesting science thrown in and a surprising twist at the end.
I thoroughly liked the narration, it was pitched just right for the story.
