The truth can be a bitter pill…

Michelle will never get tired of the view from her office window. Jagged mountains — and the wintry streets of Reykjavik, Iceland. It’s a perk of her new job at Kimia Pharmaceuticals.  Her old life — a dreary 9-to-5 and a cheating ex back in London — already feels a million miles away.  Still, there’s something strange about Michelle’s new colleagues. They’re all young, beautiful…and aloof.

But then Michelle meets Lars, a jittery researcher from the restricted upper floors. She thinks she’s alone in the elevator, until he squeezes between the doors. Just in time. The elevator whirs into action — and judders to a sickening halt.

That’s when it happens. Lars locks eyes with Michelle. Thrusts a folder into her hands. This is evidence. Hide it . . . I discovered something and I’ll be silenced because of it.
