The Protocol

Doctor Robert Appleton is a promising young research psychiatrist who has patented a new drug to curb violence in humans. He recruits young women to consent to his sordid research design by injecting them with a street-drug cocktail of PCP, Ritalin, and cocaine. The U. S. Government is interested in Appletons work to quell a Muslim uprising in Indonesia in retaliation for the U. S. victory in the Gulf War. However, the U. S. intelligence community is compromised when Appletons secret obsession of sexually molesting young women is uncovered. Hounded by the Houston police, Appleton goes undercover with the CIAs help. However, Appletons predilections propel him to kill again and again, safe within the governments witness protection program. The reader is quickly immersed in the worlds of psychiatric research, espionage, and detective work as the CIA vows to protect Appletons identity at the expense of young girls dying to his sexual fantasies. At stake is global economic stability and the U. S. Government is not about to sacrifice its international reputation.
