Dirk Wyle is the pen name of Duncan H. Haynes, Ph.D., author of the Ben Candidi Mystery Series (Pharmacology Is Murder, Biotechnology Is Murder, Medical School Is Murder, Amazon Gold, Bahamas West End Is Murder). Haynes is a 30-year veteran of biomedical science with a lifelong interest in literature. Commercial success of his drug microensapsulation technology enabled an early retirement from the duties of medical school professor. Since 2001 he has devoted full effort to inventing new challenges and adventures for his youthful protagonists, Ben Candidi (Ph.D.) and Rebecca Levis (M.D.). Believing there are no stone walls separating the realms of popular science, serious literature and formal mystery, Dirk Wyle has created stories that play out in all three arenas. Ben accepts "straightforward" projects which quickly turn perplexing, mysterious and then sinister. Shortly after Ben solves the mystery, the bad guys (and gals) strike back and he must fight for his life. In the last two books of the Series, Rebecca has been fighting along with him.
