Feeding the Gods

Description

Roberta, Rosie, Sandra and Linda meet at college in the 70s and remain constant friends, despite life’s up and downs. The sudden death of one of the friends leads the others to suspect that a slimming drug she had been taking was perhaps to blame.

Was this a wonder drug or a threat to life?

The friends start to uncover long-held secrets and betrayals – both personal and professional, but the pharmaceutical industry is not yet finished with them. Feeding the Gods is a thriller that addresses friendships, the different roles a woman must take on through life and the power of the drug giants.

Elizabeth Harrison is the pen name of Elizabeth Buxton (Liz) and Denise Harrison (Dee), two friends, writing together. Feeding The Gods is set principally in South Manchester and Cheshire, which is the area where the authors grew up, married, and had their children. Liz decided to make her career on the high seas, crewing the Atlantic and living aboard a yacht sailing the Mediterranean, whilst Dee was involved in the start-up and development of two successful software companies.
