The Placebo Protocol

She was chasing the truth. Now she's running for her life.
In the heart of Washington, D.C., ambitious young journalist Katie Steere uncovers a story that could topple governments and corporate empires alike. A Canadian pharmaceutical giant is quietly replacing life-saving chemotherapy drugs with placebos-only when exported to Russia. On its board: high-ranking American officials with everything to lose.
When a charming stranger with a hidden agenda lures Katie deeper into the web, she becomes the target of both Russian intelligence and her own government. The FBI intervenes, but the rescue comes at a price-witness protection, a new identity, and the loss of everything she once knew.
But the shadows aren't done with her yet.
Tracked by a Russian operative who refuses to let go and betrayed by the very agency sworn to protect her, Katie discovers the corruption runs far deeper than she imagined-right up to the Director of the FBI himself.
How do you survive when every side wants you silenced?
A chilling political thriller steeped in betrayal, surveillance, and moral gray zones, The Placebo Protocol delivers a pulse-pounding ride through power, propaganda, and the price of truth.
