Too Many Hats: Herbal Medicine and The Mob. In the Noir tradition, bad decisions lead down paths to bad ends. Partners in a successful New Jersey Biotech Drug Discovery company succumb to the temptations of extracurricular activities that are ultimately self-destructive, and find themselves in conflict with the underworld, herbal remedy con-men, the government, and each other. Mysterious enemies and surprising saviors emerge. Interesting and somewhat humorous secondary characters appear, including a preppie Mafia Don from Bucks County, PA, and a pistol-packing lady Ph.D. scientist from Montana.
