Description
Ackley Hornsby is a very successful writer whose books about the evils of pharmaceutical companies are always international best sellers. You would think he has it all. Except he is a hypochondriac who is “affected” by every disease and health issue he can imagine. Also, because of his “condition”, he refuses to leave his apartment and isolates himself from the public. To make matters worse, his publisher won’t even put his real name or picture on his books. Instead, they list the author as “Brenton Love” while using a hunky male model in varying states of undress. When Ackley slips up and tells his publisher about a secret already completed book, things start going amiss. The manuscript is stolen and a Private Investigator is brought in to look for clues. Could someone from the book publisher or a pharmaceutical company have snatched it? Who is the mysterious doctor that visits Ackley twice a day bringing homeopathic remedies? Through all of this, will Ackley finally get a taste of his own “Bad Medicine”?
