Dr. Jessica Bergstrom has job pressures-deadlines, a cranky boss, a meth-addled co-worker out to kill her. As a public health veterinarian at a meat packing plant, she knew the place would be rough and dirty. What she didn't know was the depth of the corruption between the industry and government agency regulating it. When Jessica uncovers the truth she faces difficult choices-keep quiet and keep her job or fight and lose the job: and possibly her life. At once a dramatic glimpse at the modern American food industry and the the blinders a regulatory agency wears to keep an uneasy truce with a powerful business, The Slaughterhouse Secrets is a story of courage and honor in the face of danger, and, ultimately, making the right choices. Fans of Tess Gerritsen and Robin Cook will love this modern day version of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.
