Dead on Arrival Susan Huffman

"What's up?" I asked sitting down on his worn leather couch. "I honestly don't know. The Sargent downstairs said he got a call from a Doctor Miller over at Nemein Pharmaceutical and Research Company. According to the guy, their CEO is being murdered." I shook my head. "Being murdered?" "That's what he said. Something about a doctor being poisoned and is dying." "Did they tell him to call 911?" "Several times but he kept insisting we should send someone over to talk to them before it was too late." "Captain, that makes no sense. If they know he is being murdered, why aren't they doing something besides calling us? Why not get him to a hospital or just call a damned ambulance?" "All good questions, but no answers. I want the two of you to head over and find out what this is all about," he said. Angie and Dan find that they are assigned to a homicide before the victim is even dead. It isn't if he is going to die but when. The new CEO of Nemein Pharmaceutical is poisoned with Alpha radiation before he even has a chance to take over the reins of the company. Suspicion falls on the other candidates for the CEO position but then they are being murdered as well. Angie and Dan are running flat out to determine if it is the work of one of the candidates or someone from outside the company trying to lower the stock value of the company through adverse publicity. In a tangled web of deceit, greed, and a grab for power, the case progresses, challenging Angie and Dan to figure out who the killer or killers are.
