"Perhaps this sort of deliciously morbid thriller is becoming our particular gift to the genre. First came Montreal's Kathy Reichs and her books about a forensic anthropologist (which form the basis of the TV series Bones). Now comes Dr. Pennie and his insight into the world of exotic cooties. Canada may not have given the world a lot of action heroes. But we sure know how to give it the creeps."" --National Post"
"Pennie builds tension perfectly, grabbing readers from the first page and keeping them entranced, both with the story itself and with nagging worries about the safety of the food they eat. All the characters . . . are realistically portrayed, their actions and emotions well matched with both their personalities and the plot. Must reading for fans of Robin Cook and Peter Clement."" --Booklist"
"Canadian physician Pennie's mystery debut introduces a winning protagonist, an Ontario public health doctor and former chef . . . The appealing supporting cast includes a gorgeous female PI. Pennie, an infectious-disease specialist, makes the medical jargon accessible."" --Publishers Weekly"
"The prose in this new series goes down as smoothly as the fine scotch favored by the lead character, Dr. Zol Szabo." --"New York Journal of Books "(May 1, 2011)
"Pennie's plot has a winning cast of players and a plot with delicious, unpredictable twists, ending in a riveting finale. "Tampered" is the second book in a Dr. Zol Szabo trilogy. The first, "Tainted", was published in 2009. I'm looking forward to No. 3." --"Waterloo Region Record "(August 27, 2011)
""Tampered", set in Hamilton, Ont., proves Pennie - McMaster professor and practising physician - is no one-book wonder. . . .This one is a good weekend book." --www.TheGlobeAndMail.com (May 6, 2011)
"Dr. Zol Szabo chose public health for its noble ideals and predictable hours. He never expected to be intimidated by the Prime Minister's Office, roughed up by the RCMP, or threatened by the Hamilton mob. Though Zol and his team have investigated every centimeter of Camelot Lodge, a residence for healthy seniors blessed with generous pensions and high-ranking political connections, the source of the converted mansion's spate of fatal food poisonings remains elusive. As the death count rises, the outbreak threatens Zol's beloved grandfather Art Greenwood, a military veteran, engineering genius, and piano whiz. The Mounties muscle in, and Zol's boss threatens him with exile. Hamish Wakefield, Zol's friend and colleague obsessed with microbes and car washes, discovers dangers at the Lodge that make the rabid bats in the turret and the dumpster-diving cook seem like minor indiscretions. It takes Art Greenwood, marshalling the insights of his silver-haired companions, to expose the deaths for what they are: a string of murders"--Jacket.
