"Kirkus Reviews" ..".A densely plotted thriller that churns out suspenseful scenes... Characters are refreshingly intricate. Protagonist Dave isn't a flawless hero; he seems to be an obsessive workaholic. The bad guys are even better."

An HIV-positive child in America should live a full life. Unless you're Liv, Dave Clement's daughter... In The Price of a Life, Book Two in the Public Offerings series, the stakes in Book One (Birthright) escalate as young children become killers and Dave Clement's friends become his enemies. Ebola, malaria and civil war have de-stabilized Sierra Leone and criminal gangs again roam the bush country. Hamara Karanja's family and tribe face savage attacks and disease.
