THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED by Derek Cavignano is a biotech murder mystery that you won't want to miss. The book hooks the reader from the very start with a mysterious elderly man dying in Jacob Hanley's arms. Before dying, the man whispers a few last words that don't make any sense to Jacob.
Jacob is soon on the hunt to find the meaning of the words and the real reason for the man's death. He uncovers a heinous scheme by the founder of the biotech Symbios Innovations whose employees follow him like cult worshippers. Hans Streisser, the leader of the cultish Symbios, who is also known as the Great Elder, has discovered the secret of immortality and will protect this knowledge at all costs.
This story is set on the streets of Boston which make a good backdrop for the Great Elder's murderous plot and evil father-son henchmen team. Jacob finds himself in a life or death battle til the end. The story gets a little bogged down at times with Jacob's preoccupation with his wife's death, but other than that it is a solid and creative thrill ride. 4 stars.
