Review
"Goddard's prose has sheer explosive energy and it seems clear that he has a long and successful career ahead of him."--Eric Lustbader"Tense...fast...violent...entirely plausible, because of Goddard's brutal attention to detail and police procedure."--"San Diego Tribune""Cleverly plotted. . .Things happen and scenes shift at breakneck speed."--"The Washington Post Book World"
From the Author
The book my Mom would just a soon you didn't read.
The story of The Alchemist came out of my early work as a deputy sheriff/criminalist (forensic scientist) at the San BernardioCounty (CA) Sheriff's Department, where I volunteered to pose as a dope chemist to infiltrate an underground drug lab (never said I was smart) ... and went to my old organic chemistry professor at UCR for technical help (same comment applies). At the time, I had no idea how much my professor actually knew about making drugs ... especially of the designer variety. But I sure found out ... which led to a scary part of my law enforcement career, and, ultimately, The Alchemist. But why would any of this upset my New England raised Mom, you ask? [she already knew I was prone to doing stupid things as a kid]. Well, at the SBSO, the narcotics detail was actually --- and more appropriately --- titled Vice/Narcotics. And boy, did I ever get an education! More info at: members.aol.com/kengoddard/kenhome.htm
