Mystery

The man was a hero. A humanitarian. A brilliant scientist.

Now he's lying dead on the floor of his science lab, but there's no evidence of murder: no bullet holes, no head wound, no bleeding gash.

Yet Sgt. Adam Davis and his constable are positive Dr. Taras Petrenko was killed.
​

So is Jay Griffin.

Jay has been dosed since childhood with his mother's bizarre potions, including the essence of a strange mushroom growing in a nearby forest. Now a PhD candidate, Jay brought the crazy fungus to his mentor.

But why would someone want to kill a man searching for a drug that may save thousands of lives? The answer lies in his past . . .
