The Essex Experiment is an adult story that incorporates intrigue, love, and mystery. It places the main characters in a series of events that include industrial espionage, murder, scientific investigations, and family relationships.
The theme centers on the possible discovery of a cure for HIV. The novel explores the attempt by a few unscrupulous individuals for greed, vengeance, and the lure of money to hold back that discovery from the public.
It might seem like chance that brought Dr. Charlie Rodgers and Calvin Kunin together that one hot summer afternoon in New York. However, as the seventy-eight-thousand-word story unfolds, it becomes apparent that Calvin, financial adviser to Leslie Mac Pherson and her millions, was on a mission to lure Charlie Rogers into an adventure that would change Charlie and Leslie’s life forever. It was the beautiful Leslie, heiress to the family millions, who had been instrumental in trying to resolve the murder of John Beads, discoverer of a HIV magic bullet.
The setting of the novel is New England, home of both Leslie and the chemical research company owned by her family. It is here that the story develops, and it is here that the mystery and murders take place. How the romance between Charlie and Leslie blossoms, the mysterious murders and cover-ups are unraveled, and how Charlie’s part in this intriguing adventure with its strong, concise dialogue plays out are the threads that present a compelling and fast-paced story.
Based in fiction, many of the facts are real due to the author’s thirty-five years’ experience in chemical research laboratories.
