The Scent of Blood

by Raymond Miller

Published 18 April 2007
Dr. Andrew Carpenter is a pediatric cardiologist and a researcher, whose most promising work involves using embryonic stem cells to repair heart damage in infants. He's been receiving threatening messages from the `Party of God', a fundamentalist group militantly opposed to such `Godless labors'--and now he's dead, killed in a hit-and-run on the streets of Manhattan. His devastated wife is sure it was murder, but the police think it was an accident. Enter private eye Nathaniel Singer, a detective with a literary bent and a penchant for honesty. While once Singer dreamed of being a poet, he has discovered that his true calling is the art of saving lives.
