Kurzbiographie
Born, raised, and still residing in Vancouver, Kalla spends his days (and sometimes nights) working as an ER Physician in an urban teaching hospital.

The idea for his first medical thriller, PANDEMIC, sprang from his clinical experience in facing the SARS crisis of 2003. He has written five science thrillers and or medical mysteries, delving into themes and topics as diverse as superbugs, drug addiction, prions, DNA evidence, pandemics and patient abuse.

Kalla’s last book, THE FAR SIDE OF THE SKY, is a historical novel set in Second World War Shanghai against the dramatic backdrop of converging cultures and ideologies. His latest, RISING SUN, FALLING SHADOW continues the story of the Adler family through 1943, the bleakest year in war-torn Shanghai.

His books have been translated into eleven languages, and two have been optioned for feature films.

Daniel received his MD from the University of British Columbia. He is married and the proud father of two girls in a home predominated by the XX chromosome (even his beloved Labrador retriever, Lola, is female.)

Cari, the investigator from LA, makes sure to find out who is standing behind extremely toxic pills containing DNP. Recently, the senator's only son who was an elite distance runner, lost his life because of DNP overdose. At the same time, Raid, a popular singer from LA, dies in a Vancouver hotel. Investigation confirms that she used DNP, the same drug that lately is used among bodybuilders and people with eating disorders. It's hard to track the distributor who illegally sells diet pills online. More people are dying, and the crime becomes more complicated. Investigators in both LA and Vancouver are determined to solve this crime fast.

This was such a quick and easy read. It kept me intrigued with its plot and topic. Nicely executed while alternating between Vancouver and LA investigations. From the beginning, the story unfolds people involved in those toxic pills, but the author manages to bring moments of tension and twist that was awaiting at the end.

Contemporary issue in a fast-paced thriller.

What price are you willing to pay to lose weight and be fashionably thin? Are you willing to die to be fit? Detectives in LA and Vancouver are racing to find the supplier of diet pills and supplements that contain DNP -- a weight loss agent that has significant toxicity.

The son of a senator and a social media influencer are found dead due to overdose of the toxin DNP, a deadly chemical that was once used as an explosive agent during WWI. When more body builders and people with eating disorders come to emergency rooms with high fevers and uncontrollable seizures, the hunt is on to find out where those people are getting DNP and to stop the supply chain.

This was another great read by an author who has become a favorite of mine. He always finds an issue that needs to be addressed and I love the medical aspects and details. The characters in this were not really as well developed but the focus was on the drug and its effects as well as shedding light on the difficulties in managing eating disorders. Many people have an obsession with fitness and weight so definitely a timely topic -- and who doesn't want a fast and easy way to shed those extra pounds. Unfortunately, there is no method that works like that, and definitely it's not one that is healthy.

Thank you to the publisher for granting access to this ARC for me to read, review, and recommend. Looking forward to Kalla's next book.
