Uncertain Origin

According to the FBI, the counterfeiting of pharmaceuticals may be the "crime of the twenty-first century.”

Sixty-eight-year-old Emma Rowan lies in a Minneapolis hospital room, fighting for her life. All because she pricked her hand, trimming a Lenten rose.

Across town, Jeremy Cole unpacks his equipment case after a long day collecting email and documents for a local attorney. Civil litigation was never exiting, nothing like what people see on CSI. But like the garbage collector, he filled a need and the mundane work paid the bills.

When a routine civil case links their destiny, they descend into a hidden world ruled by corruption and human greed. A place where criminals can invest a thousand dollars in heroin and make twenty thousand profit or, make four hundred thousand by dealing in counterfeit drugs.

A chilling tale of international crime and intrigue. Uncertain Origin is the debut novel to feature electronic evidence specialist Jeremy Cole.
