Project Suicide John Bukowski

High-profile politicians are dying by their own hand. These aren't aged bureaucrats breaking under the strain of political baggage; they are rising stars whose stresses and scandals are still ahead of them. Only genius scientist Dr. Deacon Creel knows how to save them. There's one problem, though: he now prefers the bottle to the laboratory and the alley to the office.

Creel is about to get tossed in jail for public drunkenness when he's bailed out by Homeland Security bigshot Nelson Barzoon, one of the few who know how a cure for Alzheimer's was perverted into an assassin's dream. Barzoon wants Creel back in his old job at Unit 13, a clandestine biodefense lab.

Only Creel knows the antidote to this plague of suicides, but he's tormented by guilt for his part in releasing it upon the world-and for what it cost him. With the help of a quirky, lesbian assistant and a female marine corpsman who's a constant reminder of the price he paid, Creel races against time to stop the carnage before he and his pals become the next victims.

Author John Bukowski uses his background in medical research and writing to add authenticity to this wild ride. Strap in as he pits Creel and company against a labyrinth of potholes and detours along the road to uncovering the nefarious goals of Project Suicide.
