The story takes place in Fremont Ohio and in the Salinas Valley of California. Evan Stone, a former teacher turned private investigator, is hired to solve the murder of a childhood friend. The case develops into a wild search for the truth, finding Stone immersed in Hitler's Germany and its connections to large pharmaceutical institutions in the United States.
Good read couldn't put down. Was interesting as to history and some of the stupid things the government did that they thought was right. May have been a better story if written as if Stone was writing.
