Justin travels the world, often under assumed identities, to reconstruct the circumstances leading to Tessa's murder.
Rather than help the trial subjects and begin again with a new drug, KVH covered up the side effects and improved the drug only in anticipation of a massive multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis outbreak. KVH (Karel Vita Hudson), a large pharmaceutical company working under the cover of AIDS tests and treatments, is testing a tuberculosis drug that has severe side effects. Justin learns that Tessa had uncovered a corporate scandal involving medical experimentation in Africa. Investigating on his own, Quayle discovers that her murder, reportedly committed by her friend, may have had more sinister roots. Justin Quayle, a British diplomat in Nairobi, Kenya, is told that his activist wife, Tessa, was killed while travelling with a doctor friend in a desolate region of Africa. The book was later adapted into a feature film in 2005. The plot was based on a real-life case in Kano, Nigeria. Believing there is something behind the murder, he seeks to uncover the truth and finds an international conspiracy of corrupt bureaucracy and pharmaceutical money. The novel tells the story of Justin Quayle, a British diplomat whose activist wife is murdered. The Constant Gardener is a 2001 novel by British author John le Carré.
