 Biotechnology Is Murder byDirk Wyle Rainbow Books 272 pages, 2000 ISBN 1568250452 Reviewed by Andrea Collare Read our review of Pharmacology Is Murder by Dirk Wyle Read our author interview A favor for an old friend combined with the promise of $24,000 for four days of work turns into an unexpected and dangerous adventure for Ben Candidi. One week before Ben is scheduled to receive his Ph.D. in pharmacology, Dr. Geoffrey Wesley, a mentor and friend, requests that he do a due diligence audit for a colleague that is considering buying into Biotech, a company that claims a potential cure for cancer. Not completely sure of the technicalities of such an audit, Ben wades into his promise and begins to uncover some unsettling activities. First, he discovers that his predecessor, who initially began the audit, has mysteriously disappeared. The Biotech employees are uncooperative and vague. It is the death of the lead scientist on the project that tosses Ben into a fight for his life, to reveal the secrets that his aggressive audit has uncovered. This is a very well written and clever second addition to the Ben Candidi series. Dirk Wyle is able to paint a vivid picture of Ben Candidi’s world and presents well rounded, consistent characters. Even though it may get a bit technical at times, the dialogue and story line are so witty and intelligent that the reader is not overwhelmed by the scientific data that bleeds through. Halfway through this book, I reached the point where I happily lost track of time and had to remind myself to breathe. Wyle followed through with a stunning ending that felt realistic and complete. |
