The Icepick Surgeon: Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetrated in the Name of Science by Sam Kean

Science is a force for good in the world - at least usually. But sometimes, when obsession gets the better of scientists, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell, knowledge isn't everything, it's the only thing - no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process. (NoveList).

Once Upon a Crime

Calling all armchair detectives to our new True Crime Book Discussion! Each month we will investigate a new story that proves fact is almost always scarier than fiction. Grab your notepads and stakeout snacks because the game is afoot!  

Please join us in the second floor Multipurpose Room for discussion!   

Books can be obtained digitally through Overdrive and/or Hoopla, or a limited number of copies will be available from the library. Contact RSVP@orlandparklibrary.org to ask questions!
