Shotglass

R&P Labs want a mass spectrometer, but their bank account is running on empty. Wealthy Jason Drake wants a product to remove barnacles from his yacht and is willing to pay handsomely for its development. It seems like an ideal trade-off until a corpse turns up on the waterfront and Drake disappears, leaving a trail of unpaid bills and furious women behind him. In "Shotglass", the ninth R&P Labs mystery, scientific sleuths Rob, Phil, Ellis, Virginia and Mitch go in search of their missing client, a mission complicated by a vanishing aquarium, virtual pirates and a very considerate burglar.
