Customer Reviews

Finally the truth about the Arkansas prison plasma program!

My introduction to this book came via an episode of CBN Now. I could not believe that people in Canada and around the world were dying because they had received tainted blood from several prisons in Arkansas during the 1980s. The news-story was very disturbing, and it certainly gave a new meaning to the term -- "Blood Money". I immediately went out and bought Michael Sullivan's, 'Blood Trail' to know more about the blood scandal. 'Blood Trail' is a cleverly written fast paced "novel" (the author had to adopt this format so as to prevent reprisal from befalling himself or his family) that has many kernels of fact within its 320 pages. Names, characters and places may have been altered, but if you read closely you will recognize them.

EXCELLENT BOOK

Although the book is written as fiction, once you read it you will know that this is real and did happen. Especially if you know about Arkansas politics and the way it works here in the south.

A HEART STOPPER!

"Blood Trail" really hits home for some of us who know victims of Canada's worst health crisis this century. I hope the RCMP has a copy of the book and is indeed following the Blood Trail where ever it may lead -- even if that means the White House. 10 years of Canadian Red Cross records shredded and now this! Nobody's buying the 1986 cutoff date for compensation for the tainted blood victims and now this EXPOLSIVE THRILLER proves it. A must buy. You won't put this book down.

A compelling read

This is a compelling read that is thinly disguised fiction based largely on the Arkansas prison blood scandal of the 1980s. But the story is powerfully current in its exposure of the greed of an industry which relies on blood for its profit. Very readable with engaging characters drawn by a courageous author.

Sickening at the thought that this could be true!

Very fast reading..kept me hanging so I didn't want to put it down. Every emotion will pass through you as this compelling story unfolds. And The fact that this book is based on truths that have already been uncovered and documented makes it a chilling story! I would like to know more about this incident as well as what and who truely surround it!!!
