Bloodline

by Sheldon, Sidney

Elizabeth Roffe suddenly finds herself at the helm of a global pharmaceutical empire after her father dies under suspicious circumstances. She is sharp and capable, but she quickly realizes that her family board members are not just colleagues; they are vultures waiting for her to falter. As she tries to secure the company, she becomes the target of a chilling, methodical killer. The book moves at a breakneck pace, shifting between high-society boardrooms and the dark, claustrophobic reality of being stalked by someone you trust. It is pure, unadulterated drama that leans into the paranoia of corporate espionage. If you enjoy stories where the stakes are life-or-death and the protagonist is forced to transform from an heir into a survivor, this is your next weekend read.
