The Methuselah Drug Murder Fred Fraikor

The Methuselah Drug Murder is an upmarket adult novel that begins with a brutal murder which ensnares Kylee Kaiser, a brilliant young professor and Derek Voda, a fledgling archaeologist, into a frantic search for an ancient meteor crater pool that may contain alien microbes that survived the impact. The unique organisms could hold a CRISPR genetic key to a Methuselah elixir which could extend human life, even achieve immortality. Rich historical descriptions and vivid flashbacks pull the reader into stark combat on a clandestine CIA mission in Afghanistan, mysterious erotic clues in an English manor, romance and sex in Iceland and a Chief Inspector from Scotland Yard's Art and Antiquities Unit who hunts a murderous elusive killer involved in smuggling illicit artifacts stolen by terrorists in the Middle East. The deranged murderer is a member of a suicidal religious cult who stalks Kylee and Derek and will kill them if they do not provide him with the Methuselah potion. Kylee, Derek and the Chief Inspector discover the unique organisms in a geothermal pool on the island and observe the unique organisms mysteriously respond and glow to a rare form of Northern Lights that may only occur once in a century. But could the contaminated water save a dying friend? And can the two scientists survive a desperate confrontation with the suicidal murderer and his hostage at a fiery volcanic fissure in the Land of Fire and Ice?
