Eight hundred saspects with unlimited supplies of toxic drugs?
That's what faces Detective Chief Inspector George Masters when he investigates the sudden death of Adam Huth. Huth, Chairman of an important pharmaceutical company, is found dead at his desk — from an overdose of drugs which all signs suggest was self-administered. Or was it?
Masters and his assistant Green have to find out just how this giant drug company works — the real inside story — if they are to track down the ingenious murderer. But every time Masters interrogates an employee he has to rule out another motive. From all accounts the boss, though willful, was capable, fair, and often kind.
But nobody’s perfect, and once Masters finds the flaw in the dead man’s character, the clues begin to add up — in the way he’d least like them to.
