Autorenporträt
Ralph Hindle is a chemist with over forty years of experience in the environmental analysis of pesticides, drugs, and toxins. In his electrifying debut, The Fifth Needle draws directly on his early experiences doing fieldwork in Northern Ontario, where he was besieged by endless swarms of mosquitos and blackflies. He currently lives near Calgary, Alberta, with his wife and two pet mosquitos, none of which glow green ... or so he believes.
