Ben also meets Dr. Moon, the completely uncooperative inventor of the three drugs. By the second day, Ben has discovered that the drugs do shrink tumors in rats, the science seems to be well done and the patents are okay. By the third day, the stakes have gotten higher with murder involved. Once I got over feeling like I should have my Webster's New World College Dictionary on one side of me and Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary on the other and decided to ignore the kinases, phosphatases and enzyme reactions, I was much more comfortable with the story. It was an interesting look at drug research, big business, and greed.
Biotechnology is Murder is a combination white collar crime medical thriller hard-boiled mystery.
Written with the detail you would find in a medical thriller and the action of a hard-boiled mystery, there is also time given to scenic descriptions of Miami and Biscayne Bay and humorous scenes between the two old friends Drs. Ben Candidi doesn't carry a gun or have a PI license. He's witty, complex and a very different sleuth. I do have one or two complaints. I was able to figure out how one of the characters died well before Ben was told.
