Dying to Read

A terrible sickness awaits those who read newspapers and certain magazines. The ink holds a poison that was extracted from a deadly mold. Many children and pets of the readers become affected when they get touched by those, who handled certain print items.

Mold expert and professor, Dr. Jeffrey Shenero, gets pulled into a diabolical and original plot designed and carried out by terrorists. Countless persons are threatened and many have died.

An epidemic and national panic ensue as Shenero and his mathematician friend and genius, Dr. Paul Anderson, stumble onto the truth and the nature of the plot. Attempts are made by members of the U.S. Government, who are working in concert with the terrorists, to persuade Shenero and Anderson to think twice about revealing their findings.

In a fast-moving adventure full of eccentric characters the mold expert gets help from his brilliant graduate students and his intelligent and alluring secretary, Carmen.

Then, Jeff learns that poisonings by the terrorists are in progress in other aspects of everyday American life, not only print ink; even as they come after him.
