They investigate and discover a government covert research plan to prevent ageing lies at the root of the mystery.
Good characterisation and well described action scenes keep the momentum up and the book , while covering no new ground,is diverting and will appeal to readers whose taste runs to the likes of Robin Cook.
Good solid reading .
