Suspense

After political strategizing occurs through official and unofficial police channels, Elliot Elliot becomes the sole detective for a medical institute; his most exciting job responsibility has been to write reports and attempt to locate missing laptops. He expects more of the same until two very strange cases drop into his lap: one official and one quite under the radar. His prime mission goes from documenting stolen laptops to trying to find a very special dog. As well as looking for a black Labrador about whom no one will give many details, Elliot also attempts to investigate a possible case of medical fraud, a case he is warned to avoid because it doesn't exist. When he runs into an old love, people start dying, and his life is threatened by his advancement on the two cases, he realizes that he was probably happier and safer just looking for laptops. An exciting suspense and medical mystery with fast-paced action and interesting characters, A BREED APART is a fascinating thriller. The multi-perspective narrative works to entice the reader into ripping through the pages to discover what happens next.

SUMMARY

Lt. Elliot Elliot, aka E Squared. A botched drug raid yanks him off the street and into a cubicle at the Pearson Institute of Health Sciences, where he’s reduced to hunting down stolen laptops. Then the ultimate insult: track down an escaped lab animal, a seventy-five-pound black Labrador retriever.

But the dog turns out to be an extraordinary creature at the heart of an international collision between science, money, lust, and life itself. And as Elliot struggles to understand what’s going on, the dog must wage its own desperate battle for survival .

Elliot encounters a trophy wife from his own past, a professional killer with a medieval bent, a comatose surgeon with a checkered history, and a billionaire locked in a frantic struggle to stay alive—all connected to a dog that guards a secret far deadlier than anyone can imagine.
