GREENSBORO —
A local author has penned a new novel based on the competitive world of prescription medication development.
“Dose of Insanity” is a sweeping thriller about a promising new drug that goes horribly wrong when greed and denial trump scientific judgment. An exciting new discovery finds its way into the hands of giant Apex Pharmaceuticals following the death of a young scientist. Despite the many red flags, Apex’s tyrannical CEO Maxwell Hall sees only the multibillion dollar potential of the product and rushes it into development.
Once Medulin is announced to the world, only a small Connecticut biotechnology company called Genplex is successful at discovering a viable alternative.
Genplex and its young research director, Jerrod Wesley, become locked in a battle of David-and-Goliath proportions as they struggle to reach the market first. But more is at stake than market share.
Medulin causes patients to become violently insane, and Maxwell Hall leaves a trail of corruption and murder as he covers his tracks.
When Jerrod's daughter, Courtney, is touched by the effects of Medulin, she seeks her own revenge. The conclusion is dramatic, terrifying, and satisfying.
Author Davis L. Temple, Jr. is an established scientist and scientific writer. He is also the author of three previous novels, Two Letters Then Booger Den (for which he received the Mississippi Author of the Year Award in 2004), Preacherman, and Voodoo Storm. He lives with his wife, Patty, in Bonita Springs, Fla., and Greensboro.
