Misplaced Danger: A Fatal Prescription - Paperback

by Marla K. Morris (Author)

For years, Teddy has blended in as the nice shy guy next door. To most, he is seemingly devoted to his overbearing mother. However, behind closed doors, their relationship is rife with dysfunction. He's heavily stressed about the possible upheaval of his job. Meanwhile, as the capital city grows, his childhood home may be leveled to make room for a new commuter thoroughfare. Being pressured on every side, Teddy succumbs to the illicit use of prescription drugs. Addiction fills a void in his life, but it is only a temporary fix.
This is a tale of how Dr. Benjamin Eagleston, a prominent first generation Greek-American, is operating a veritable pill mill on the other side of town. Motivated by money, prestige, and a long-standing sibling rivalry, he plunders his practice, reputation, and privilege once his wrongdoing is brought to the light.
Their lives lived in juxtaposition of race, wealth and circumstance, highlight how interconnected people really are. Unintentionally, the undoing of the devious doctor is the catalyst for Teddy's ultimate demise.
