Reviews / Votes
Counterfeit drugs, worldwide supply problems and new antibiotic resistances due to negligent handling of wastewater from antibiotic production - unfortunately, we have to associate all this with the black sides of drug production on the Indian subcontinent and China, the new pharmacies of the world. The gripping crime novel by Arne Drews describes the effects of these mechanisms and scandals in Nepal. Can Inspector Sanjit and his team put a stop to the criminal profit motive of pharmaceutical companies like Everest Drugs?Prof. Christoph Lübbert, Infectious and Tropical Medicine, Leipzig University Hospital
The fifth Nepal crime novel by Arne Drews is set in the pharmaceutical scene and deals with corruption and fraud. ed Along the way, the reader learns about the latest developments in the country, such as the new health insurance law or the unsuccessful introduction of the horn ban. An exciting and well-told crime story, which at the same time allows the reader to participate directly in life in Nepal. Extremely worth reading!
Prof. Dr. Astrid Funke, Chairman of the German-Nepalese Society

Author
Person: I live and work as a pulmonologist (lung doctor) in Grimma, Germany. I am married and have three children. Since I first travelled to India, Sikkim and Nepal in 1992 the people of the Himalayas have never left my thoughts. The contrasts of gorgeous pagodas or palaces and the extreme poverty of the simple people, nestled under the giant white mountains have never failed to touch my heart.
During my Medical Studies I also undertook Central Asian Studies at Leipzig University. In the year 2000 my friends and I founded our charity organization Nepalmed to help provide health care especially in remote areas of Nepal. Since the beginning I have been the chairman of Nepalmed. Since then we have successfully completed innumerable projects with our Nepalese and western partners.
In recognition of the voluntary work of Nepalmed, I was invited by German federal president Gauck to a celebration at Castle Bellevue in Berlin on 21st September 2015. After the devastating earthquake in Nepal 2015, I published a book of short stories about the country and its people together with supporters of Nepalmed. In 2016 I was appointed editor for health care of "Nepal-I", the journal of the German Nepal Friendship Society.
