Review: Dr. Mary's Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing Monkey Viruses are Linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK Assassination and Emerging Global Epidemics

Dr. Mary's Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing Monkey Viruses are Linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK Assassination and Emerging Global Epidemics by Edward T. Haslam

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



The premise of odd duck David William Ferrie and Dr. Mary Sherman working under armed guard at a US Public Health Service facility with a linear particle accelerator crafting super-cancer to kill Castro only to have Ferrie's twisted hate direct it to a genocidal attack that unleashes AIDS is a but much to swallow. On top of that, Lee Harvey Oswald working under Dr. Alton Ochsner at this task with Judyth Vary Baker author of [b:Me & Lee: How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald|6686737|Me & Lee How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald|Judyth Vary Baker|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1328763811s/6686737.jpg|6882068] is all a bit "conspiracy a go-go". Still, Haslam puts together some interesting facts:


1] The linear particle accelerator sure seems to fit Dr. Mary Sherman's death scene and supported by a realistic look at cremation

2] We are coming around to the reality of cancer viruses

3] It makes as much sense as Stone did of Clay Shaw, Guy Bannister, Jim Garrison, and the mafia-seasoned Crescent City milieu.

Interesting for me, this book has a side show in the sniper incident I plan on reading of soon in [b:A Terrible Thunder: The Story of the New Orleans Sniper|832540|A Terrible Thunder The Story of the New Orleans Sniper|Peter Hernon|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348006227s/832540.jpg|818178].
