SynopsisQ-23 is a revolutionary new chemical formula, but research chemist Roger Pate, its discoverer, hardly expects to be murdered because of it. His friend, private investigator Kurt Strong, isn't as naive as Roger about those who prefer crushing innovation that threatens the status quo. The normally benign world of research and development takes on a sinister cast in this entertaining and pulse-pounding novel., Paul R. Theroux was educated as a chemical engineer, and following service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, pursued a career as an insurance industry executive. He currently lives in Florida and has been an avid world traveler and tennis player. Cousin of authors Paul, Alexander, and Peter Theroux, this is his first novel., Q-23 is a revolutionary new chemical formula. But Roger Pate, a research chemist who discovers it, does not expect to be murdered for it. Fortunately his friend, Kurt Strong, a private investigator, is not naïve about those who prefer squelching innovation that threatens the status quo. But the clock is ticking and both men must anticipate an escalating and violent situation in order to outwit a powerful enemy. Unexpectedly the benign world of research and development takes on a sinister cast and ordinary men must do extraordinary things to survive.
