Medical Fraud, Mafia Money, and a Maniac in the White House. When a mass murder shatters the calm of bucolic Westfield, New Jersey, veteran detective Joe Henderson is unprepared for the fallout as the shooter turns out to be a fellow soccer dad, and a friend. For Henderson, the nightmare is just beginning. He is about to come face-to-face with the biotech genius Dr. Mahli Lani and the Brooklyn Mafia family that has provided $500 million in financing for a flawed "miracle drug" that is marching America towards nuclear war. Gene Killers shines a spotlight on FDA ineptitude, Wall Street corruption, organized crime, and how a madman in the White House can bring America to the brink of total destruction. In a tale worthy of Michael Crichton and Raymond Chandler, author Lawrence Kaplan weaves an epic medical murder mystery based on scientific discoveries torn from today's headlines. Readers of Kaplan's earlier work, House Of Ghosts, will recognize Detective Joe Henderson, the hard-drinking, chain smoking, politically incorrect heir to Phillip Marlow—and his voluptuous sidekick, the devious Russian emigre siren, Alenia Gilbert.
