The Hottest Cold-Case in America: The Murder of Dr. Mary Sherman



EUGENE, Ore., April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Mary's Monkey, a bold new book from secret-smashing TrineDay Publishing, unveils a story of gigantic proportions - a tangled tale of medicine, murder and politics which affects millions of people in the United States and millions more around the globe to this day: Baby Boomers who got the polio vaccine, all those who have lost a loved one to cancer, or anyone who has ever wondered where AIDS really came from.

Ostensibly a cold-case investigation into the bizarre murder of a prominent cancer researcher whose naked corpse was found slashed and burned in her New Orleans apartment in 1964, Dr. Mary's Monkey takes the reader on a journey far beyond this single event and into a world which many did not even know existed. Written with the intrigue of a first-class murder mystery, this carefully documented tale unravels the tapestry of America's secret history and offers a new view of well-known events.

Smoothly paced, clearly written, and handsomely illustrated, this startling expose guides the reader through an unfamiliar landscape of heavy- handed monkey experiments, radioactive machinery, and secret laboratories. Against this almost sci-fi backdrop, we find a real- world mesh of organized- crime figures, intelligence agents and medical doctors immersed in a covert scheme to produce a biological weapon. In the author's words, "Our story comes from a fermenting mash of science, secrecy, patriotism, power, paranoia and extremism."

Familiar names like Fidel Castro, Lee Harvey Oswald (the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy), and Carlos Marcello (the infamous Louisiana mob boss) will be recognized by many readers. Before all is done, author Edward T. Haslam plunges us into the world of cancer-causing viruses - a subject only recently discussed in the mainstream press thanks to the HPV vaccine controversy. Spotlighting several epidemics, Haslam raises important questions about the polio vaccines of the 1950s and related radioactive research in the early-1960s.

An admittedly incendiary book, Dr. Mary's Monkey re-paints modern history- a point emphasized in the Foreword written by the award- winning journalist Jim Marrs, whose books include the New York Times bestseller Crossfire: The Plot that Killed President Kennedy, as well as Rule By Secrecy, The War On Freedom and The Terror Conspiracy.

Dr. Mary's Monkey will be released to bookstores in the U.S. in April 2007 and is currently available for order from http:// www.DrMarysMonkey.com and other Web sites, such as http:// www.Amazon.com.
