It's about 80,000 words. Here's the pitch:
When her father dies unexpectedly, newly-minted-M.D. Maggie Lane abandons a promising future in L.A. for the wilds of the Canadian Rockies to take over her father's small-town practice. As she learns more about his final days, she starts to wonder if there might be a connection between her father's death and a mysterious, fatal illness that swept through the town a year earlier. When a child shows up to clinic with ominous symptoms, Maggie uncovers a conspiracy that goes far deeper than she ever imagined - with high stakes, dangerous players, and a medical mystery that will challenge everything Maggie thought she knew about medicine, human beings, and her own abilities as a physician.
Any takers? This is a (clean) first draft, so I'm looking for big things, like plot, characters, pacing, etc. I'd be happy to swap. Please post or PM me if interested!
