Little Deadly Things is a sci-fi thriller for people who don't read thrillers. And for those who do.

Once they were friends. Now two scientists race—one to save mankind, one to destroy it.  Nanotechnology made Eva Rozen the world’s wealthiest woman. Rage made her the deadliest. Marta Cruz alone can stand between Eva and the death of millions. But will a crippling illness stop Marta first? 

The book is complete. I need your help to publish. I've hired structural, line and copy editors. Interior and cover designers. So, the product will be very high quality--a pleasure to hold and to read. Want proof?
