Simon Rand, generally regarded as the least respected restaurant critic in America, dies from a heart attack in San Francisco. Or did he expire from natural causes? The answer to that question kicks off another wild Pinky, Bear, and Flo mystery that takes them to Camden, New Jersey, Copenhagen, Denmark, and Skellefteå, Sweden. During their travels, Pinky becomes personally acquainted with a Mafia Don, his oversized thugs, and a helicopter ride over the Atlantic, while Flo, Bear, and Ettamae visit Sweden where Bear gawks at more well-developed blonde females then he thought existed in the whole world!

The year is 1943. A five year old boy wakes up. He cannot stand or hold an apple in his hand. The boy is rushed to his family doctor, diagnosed with polio, and taken from his mother's arms to the contagion ward at the county hospital.

Polio and Me provides a view of the past, present, and future-the saga of one boy's pain, fear, and loneliness-the long struggle to find a vaccine and effective treatments-the worldwide goal to eradicate the polio virus, and in one twenty-first century cancer research trial, the polio vaccine eliminated cancerous tumors.
