Found it on Amazon. It was pretty unique for a medical mystery because the hero is a lab scientist whose working in a medical examiners lab. Lots of realistic detail on HPLC and mass spec. He is sent out to infiltrate a pharmacology department to solve a murder. I've never seen a lab scientist as a hero in a book before. Can anybody suggest any more books like this? Richard Miller .
