Book Description
Martin Muntor has it in for the tobacco industry. He's dying of lung cancer and he's a dangerous man: he's smart and he's mad and he has nothing to lose. Muntor has it in for the tobacco industry. He doesn't give a damn who gets sacrificed as long as he can hurt the billion-dollar profits of Big Tobacco. The twisted journalist's plan is simple. He'll poison cigarettes with cyanide and slip them into convenience stores, restaurants and vending machines all over the U.S. He'll even leave deadly cigarettes in the playground of an elementary school. He knows the inevitable media frenzy will further his cause. But there's a complication: Nicholas Pratt, the CEO of Old Carolina Tobacco, Inc., has a bigger problem. He's trying to cover up his role in the disappearance of a company researcher who was preparing to go to the Department of Justice -- with evidence that Old Carolina was spiking the nicotine level of its cigarettes. Muntor's plot brings an unwanted spotlight to Pratt's illegal activities. Pratt hires an equally self-destructive man, Tommy Rhoads -- a man battling his own gambling and drinking demons. Chasing Muntor changes Rhoads, and as he gets closer to Muntor, he begins to see the madman's logic isn't so insane. Rhoads realizes Muntor kills people with cigarettes the same way tobacco companies do -- only Muntor expedites the process. When Rhoads finally gets Muntor's scent, there's no stopping him. But then there's no stopping Martin Muntor, either.
