The Endometriosis Factor

Few conditions cause as much agony and frustration in women as endometriosis. The treatments can be as debilitating as the disease, so when a new medication is released, it is widely regarded as a breakthrough. Unfortunately it, too, can have some unexpected side effects and those involved in pointing this out find themselves in trouble -both legally and physically. Some illegal and unethical experiments are discovered to have been performed at a popular daycare facility, resulting in lengthy media coverage, its very publicized closure, and the end of several careers.
Subsequently, several seemingly unrelated crimes are committed whose only link seems to be two rival endometriosis self-help groups. The medication and the experiments just won't go away quietly.
