Nick is requested to a murder scene on a farm to figure time of death. Puzzled as to why he is asked, he arrives and is shocked to find that the wife of the victim is an old friend. Investigating the time of death leads to more questions due to bugs that aren't belonging to the region. Nick asks his friend Alena (dog lady from previous book) to assist with her tracking dogs. What starts out as a simple murder takes on international problems. Pot, corn, tomatoes, the FBI, The FDA, & the Dept of Agriculture all get pulled in along with foreign players to stop or start a global epidemic in the making. Along with the hybrid bugs, Nick is pulled between his old friend and Alena, who are competing for his affections which he doesn't have a clue about at all. Bug Man is experiencing some sort of feelings that he's never felt and is finally beginning to feel a little human. (

I found this to be more of a love story than a thriller. I was hoping for more of thriller...the terrorist plot seems almost incidental for most of the book. Our hero, Nick, is his usual anti-socail self but unconsciously so. There is the usual sarcastic dialog but it seems gratuitious in some sense to me. I was looking for the thriller but the story seemed hungup on his relationship with the two women in his life at that time. I like both women...especially Aelna and her relationship with her dogs. Katherine is ok too. But the terror plot seems to be just a vehicle to get Nick and his girlfriends together. There is a rather different twist at the end of the book...more of a marketing ploy than anything else. I won't say what it is but personally I hope this is a "one of" and not how his future books are going to be written. I like the writing of Tim Downs but this book could have had more "Thriller" substance in my opinion. (

When an organic tomato farmer is murdered in his field, Dr. Nick Polchak's old friend Kathryn Guilford calls him to help investigate. Nick, in turn, calls in his friend Alena Savard, a dog trainer. Nick finds insect evidence leading him to discover an intricate plot by three foreign nationals to cripple the US corn production for making ethanol. And, to make matters worse, he's torn between investigating the murder and two old flames, each vying for his attention.

Bug Man series number 5. Downs brings back major characters from previous books in this story. An interesting read and highly recommend the series. (
