    William 'Bill' Allender, the boy from the bush, is back with the next volume of his fascinating, complex and often hilarious life story. As we pick up from the first volume, it is the 1980s, and Bill has moved to Sydney with his ever-supportive wife, Suzanne, and his beautiful daughter, Rebecca, and since gained a degree in chemistry. And so starts his illustrious and colourful career in science, specifically in the field of analytical chemistry.
    Bill charts his career with a host of bizarre, shocking and comical behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the pharmaceutical industry, from the scientific analysis of both legal and illicit drugs to the no less fascinating territory of agricultural chemical and plant analysis. Along the way, he encounters very poisonous Australian funnel-web spiders, becomes entangled with a dangerous drug lord and delves into the very human arenas of homicide and suicide. Join Bill as he continues his journey in this unforgettable read.
