Mossfire (R&P Labs Mysteries Book 1)

Rob Mangan has problems. His small independent research laboratory is on the verge of bankruptcy and his wife's gone off with the fish tank cleaner. So when Rob and his brother Phil are offered a small fortune to develop surgical dressings using sphagnum moss, they jump at the opportunity.

But if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. In "Mossfire", the first novel in the series, the R&P staff - Rob, Phil, Ellis, Virginia and Mitch - match wits with a mysterious, mint-sucking millionaire as their supposedly innocent project leads to an unexplained death, a fire and a search for a weapon of moss destruction.
