Tampered

Dr. Zol Szabo chose public health for its noble ideals and predictable hours. He never expected to be intimidated by the Prime Ministers Office roughed up by the RCMP or threatened by the Hamilton mob. Though Zol and his team have investigated every centimetre of Camelot Lodge a residence for healthy seniors blessed with generous pensions and high–ranking political connections the source of the converted mansions spate of fatal food poisonings remains elusive. As the death count rises the outbreak threatens Zols beloved grandfather Art Greenwood a military veteran engineering genius and piano whiz. The Mounties muscle in and Zols boss threatens him with exile to North Overshoe. Zols friend and colleague Hamish Wakefield obsessed with microbes and car washes discovers dangers at the Lodge that make the rabid bats in the turret and the dumpster–diving cook seem like minor indiscretions. As Zol and Hamish struggle with the scientific details Zols private–eye girlfriend Colleen tails potential suspects and the health units epidemic specialist Natasha Sharma sifts through mountains of disappointing data. It takes Art Greenwood marshalling the insights of his silver–haired companions to expose the deaths for what they are: a string of murders. Decades after wars are over peace is not as simple as a comfy chair in Camelot.
