In the late 1970s, a police officer in a city in the western United States was part of a task force against a violent criminal gang. The summary report from that task force to the police department was five pages long. The first four pages were a narrative of the task force’s actions and results. It was released to the media for their use.
The fifth page was a list of task force members with annotations of their specific contributions. It remained in-house . . .
. . . at least it was supposed to remain in-house.
Somehow, a copy of the fifth page found its way out of police headquarters. Several task force members and their families were targets of anonymous threats, vandalism, and drive-by shootings. At least one member of the task force was directed to leave the city and his career in law enforcement after his family home and personal vehicles were riddled with bullets. The police department could not guarantee his family’s safety.
This story is based on that incident.
The Antidote Conspiracy: A Glitter & Leroy Adventure
Brief Synopsis
“On average, it takes ten years and hundreds of millions of dollars to get a new medication approved by the FDA. Only about ten percent of potential drugs make it through the rigorous process to become FDA approved. Despite these challenges, researchers remain hard at work to develop new safe and effective medications.”

Storylines are woven together much like fibers in a rope. However, each fiber in this rope has a different plan for the finished product. The primary characters weaving the fibers are:
Glitter and Leroy: Working for the Division of National Protection (DNP), a low-profile subdivision of a well-known government agency, DNP operatives are charged with stopping a debilitating pandemic among U.S. military forces in the Middle East.
Jafa Jernoim: A brilliant researcher, who’s chosen to sell his services to the highest bidder, regardless of ideology or the outcome.
Dr. Meria Brienviance: Indefatigable researcher who leaves main-stream research in the CDC so she can more quickly service areas where epidemics rage.
Dr. Zohana Goyal: Once Dr. Brienviance’s colleague, she’s now the CDC’s Director of External Relations. A critical part of her job description is liaison with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The pace of the story is rapid and you'll find yourself staying up late to see how it ends.
