A review by dmturner
The Icepick Surgeon: Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetrated in the Name of Science by Sam Kean
dark
informative
medium-paced
3.5
Lively, at times gruesome, this energetic collection of historical tales about science crooks, frauds, and monsters was often oddly amusing. The end chapter with its speculations about possible crimes in the future was a little less coherent.
