Black Gold

A medical mission takes a deadly turn ...

Emergency medicine physicianLillian Whyte is swept into a dangerous world when the camp of her Kenya mission clinic is destroyed by war profiteers. 

Lillain realizes that the luster and idealism of medicine and healing faded and left her disillusioned after trudging through the hectic emergency room. Concerned about her swelling cynicism about her job, her supervisor volunteered her to lead a group of residents on a medical mission to Kenya. An ocean away from her troubles, she found comfort in aiding local inhabitants and refugees who fled from civil unrest in neighboring countries. 

The tranquility turns to chaos when her clinic is ambushed by militant thieves led by a conniving oil profiteer. Faced with the prospect of permanent captivity and/or probable death, Dr. Whyte must find the resolve to outwit her captors and escape. With the help of a CIA operative, she seeks to disband the oil thieves while restoring her humanitarianism in medicine and her faith in herself.

A slow-burn intellectual thriller from award-winning author CB Samet. Black Gold is book one in the Lillian Whyte adventure series. This series contains some violence and language.
