Dearh by Wall Street: The Screenplay Theodore Jerome Cohen

When the severed head of a Wall Street stock analyst turns up spiked on a horn of the Wall Street Bull, Detective Louis Martelli of the NYPD is assigned to track down the murderer. But why were this victim and the victims of two similar murders that followed singled out for execution? And what would make the murderer go to such unexpected extremes? Martelli eventually learns the answer to this question and tracks down the killer, but not before uncovering some of Wall Street's and the US government's darkest secrets pertaining to the US financial markets and the nation's health care practices. Death by Wall Street tells the story of how the oligarchs of Wall Street, doctors and others in the pharmaceutical research profession having significant conflicts of interest, and the employees of two "captured" US government agencies-the SEC and FDA-by design as well as by simply refusing to pursue the evidence of malfeasance provided to them, deny patients lifesaving treatments that are demonstrated safe and effective in FDA-approved drug trials.
