About the book
When Yale professor Dr. Edward Kender's father undergoes chemotherapy for colon cancer and the supply of the critical drug Culovort suddenly runs short, Kender hires P.I. Erin Pulaski to prove that something more sinister is going on at Schiffer Hartwin Pharmaceutical. On the same night Erin finds proof of malfeasance, the pharmaceutical company's "Mr. Fix-It" is murdered behind the drug company's U.S. headquarters. The big guns, Savich and Sherlock, are sent to Connecticut to join the local Special Agent in Charge, Bowie Richards. The case becomes more complicated for Erin, since the brutal murder can mean only that the pharmaceutical house has a secret of epic proportions -- one it would do anything to keep hidden -- and she alone holds the key evidence that will nail them.
Back in Washington, Senator David Hoffman is experiencing a ghostly apparition with unknown intent, and Savich van find no earthly explanation. There are attempts on Hoffman's life, resulting in the murder of an innocent. When the vice president of the United States is nearly killed, Savich and Sherlock know they must act fast...
