Synopsis: It could be lights out for British sleuth Patrick Dawlish when a dangerous new drug hits London and falls into the hands of a criminal mastermind. After a Paris vacation with his wife, Patrick Dawlish steps off the train and is welcomed home by trouble, to no one&’s surprise. An esteemed medical researcher who wanted Dawlish&’s help while being blackmailed has gone missing. For months the poor doctor&’s mind has been wracked with fear, derailing his work on a cure for a devastating virus and plunging him into financial ruin. The search for the doctor puts a target on Dawlish&’s back—and everyone close to him—just as a series of bizarre murders begin. Some small-time crooks are drugged into a blissful sleep never to awaken again. And that&’s enough to convince Dawlish that there&’s a big-time thief behind the scenes, one who&’s gotten his hands on the ultimate weapon to satisfy his lust for wealth and power . . .
