This is the story of
Anita Thomas and Jack Wheaton, two young doctors unwittingly in possession of a
designer antibody for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome. The new drug is
effective, but dangerously flawed. The problem is Anita Thomas has developed a
cheap, safe alternative agent. Naturally, after expenditure of a fortune in
development, the drug manufactures are not at all pleased with her. The pieces
unfold, as we follow Anita and Jack from beautiful upscale midtown to the
seedier downtown counterparts of Boston and Atlanta over shadowed by deadly
stalkers and embellished by amorous often comically frustrating misadventures.
The Renaissance of Aspirin is peppered with industrial espionage, suspense and
passion as the chase is on for the first cure for fibromyalgia. Entangled with
colorful comrades such as Dasher Clay; Stormi Seales and Khandi Barr in their
camp, Anita and Jack barely keep ahead of the treacherous cabal of nemeses;
Luciana Velasquez and Jason Brasil led by the Ãœber-villain, Orson Quirk. Paced
in the tradition of The Pelican Brief, Coma or a contemporary Maltese Falcon,
The Renaissance of Aspirin is both plot and character driven with a ly credible
McGuffin at its core. These complex characters are funny, mean, desperate,
lonely and at the same time very humanly imperfect. Readers will find their
prickly exploits thoroughly entertaining.
