As Winters attempts to determine who his allies are and who is behind the intrigue, a series of bizarre murders trigger events at the company. Power plays in the executive suite, secrets hidden in corporate research laboratories, entanglements with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the desire for domination of the health care system by a global health care enterprise. All must be laid bare to determine what is behind The Arakniv Deception.
