The Blood Mafia - Konsalik

When a determined journalist begins to investigate the strange suicide of a man, he discovers that the man was infected with AIDS. In the search for clues, he also discovers that the origin of the infection lies in a blood transfusion. As he advances in his investigation, Rio Martin encounters an extensive web of complicity in a highly profitable business: the collection and processing of blood plasma. And when a test reveals that he himself was infected in an operation he had years before, the investigation will have to go all the way... The Blood Mafia brings us Konsalik at his best once again: this is a novel in which, from fiction to reality, the distance is perhaps too short.
