Follow on Google News | New Book Exposes Unjust Deaths In HospitalsAuthor writes a thriller to spark a conversation about deadly infections that occur daily in the medical wards, but go unreported
“When I began writing Golden Plague, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) had just declared MRSA as the main cause of death by infection in the United States - a higher number than AIDS or any other contagious disease - but for some strange reason this statistic is not widely covered in the media,” explained the author, who added that this fact has meant that MRSA has become a silent killer. The question of why a debate on this bacterium has not been given greater attention, and why, as a result, people continue to die every day from MRSA infections in hospitals, was a major motivation for writing this thriller.

The couple, accompanied by other characters that enter and exit the fray, embark on a journey to stop the Machiavellian plan before it is too late. Golden Plague, the most recent publication from Padmore Books, will be released in print and digital media, and will be available at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/ End
