Hypocrisy (34 page)

I have the deepest respect for the thousands of dedicated people in healthcare who work tirelessly to develop new treatments and possible cures for cancer. I also applaud the scores of volunteers who unselfishly donate time and money to help rid the world of this awful disease. That said, please bear in mind that
Hypocrisy
is a work of fiction. In no way is it intended to question the integrity and goals of anyone associated with cancer research and treatments. I tip my hat to each and every one of you.

They Never Die Quietly

Resuscitation
(Thomas & Mercer 2011), a follow-up to his first novel, hit #1 in Kindle sales in the UK and reached #26 in the USA. He is also the author of
I Do Solemnly Swear
(Thomas & Mercer 2012).
Hypocrisy

A native of New York, Annechino now lives in San Diego with his wife, Jennifer. He loves to cook, enjoys a glass of vintage wine, and spends lots of leisure time on the warm beaches of Southern California.
