Deadly Medicine by Donald BainMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
As in all of Bain's continuation of Margaret Truman's Capital Crimes series Mac and Annabelle are not the center of the action, although in this one they appear more often. Bain's addition of PI Robert, don't call him Bobby, Brixton in his version is quite good, however. Brixton finds himself involved in two investigations--one, to unearth proof of the cover-up of a scandal in the life of a prominent Senator, the other, to find a recent arrival to Washington of a lab tech from Papua New Guinea and the research papers he may have stolen from a murdered doctor in PNG. Both cases involve Big Pharma, Lobbyists and the usual Washington complex politics. Lots of murder, mystery and mayhem centered around a well-developed cast of interesting characters.
There is another in the series published but I wonder what will happen to it now that Bain, too, has died.
