Book Description
A retired licensed practical nurse who has seen how deadly diabetes can be--including in her own family--reveals the insidious nature of the disease in this crime drama. The story opens on the south side of Chicago when a raid takes place at one of the city's largest warehouse food stores: Shop and Drop. Neighborhood residents have declared Diabetes, a fictional cartoon figure, as its top enemy, and Ms. High Cholesterol, Fats, Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and Salt are being sought as accomplices in the mass murder of millions of people. After Salt and Sugar are spotted leaving the scene of the raid, the Take Back Your Health Food Copps find themselves in hot pursuit--and the action gets intense. When the accused are brought to trial, it's televised from White Sox Park, with neighborhood residents serving as judge and jury. A reporter, Ms. Know It All; the chief investigator, Double (00) Truth Be Told; and Drop Dead Gorgeous Ms. High Cholesterol play major roles as the coverage unfolds. Join the residents of Chicago as they investigate how diabetes has become such a deady epidemic and decide what to do about it.
