When a brilliant young bioscientist suddenly vanishes, no one seems to know how or why. Her brother has a solution: recruit Sam Acquillo. Another investigation is the last thing Sam wants, but his girlfriend Amanda won’t hear of it. “How will you tell him you won’t try to find his sister?”
Sam might be reluctant, but it’s not long before he’s deep in the chase, infiltrating the world of high-stakes biotech, venture capital, deception, betrayal and the venality of millionaires and billionaires.
One-time boxer, current cabinetmaker and a talented research engineer in his own right, Sam does what he does best, unlocking conundrums, rescuing the innocent, cornering criminals and busting heads when he has to.
Ninth in the Sam Acquillo Hamptons Mystery Series, Blood Bank sees a return of Sam’s supporting cast of oddballs, loyal co-conspirators and a certain canine named Eddie Van Halen, who has an agenda all his own.
Set in the late stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sam navigates a world gone haywire, where threats to life and the redemption of discovery are delivered in equal measure.
