Playing the Field

When he discovers a new scientific principle that could have a far reaching impact on terrestrial life, Adrian Haverfield fails to realise he has set in motion a juggernaut that will stop at nothing to destroy him and bury his discovery. When his mentor, Peter Bevan, is killed in an 'accident' at his laboratory, Bevan's administrative assistant, Nancy, is murdered in her home, and Haverfield's wife, Christine, is kidnapped with Haverfield himself framed for her murder, Haverfield and his friends decide to fight back directly with the help of Alan Voss, himself a shadowy figure working on the periphery of law enforcement. Thus begins a chase across the country to find and free Christine Haverfield and release the details of Haverfields discovery to a waiting world before multinational techno-industrial forces can destroy them.
