Anomalous behaviour of a massive spin two charged particle in an external electromagnetic field

A critical study of the behaviour of a massive spin two charged particle in an external electromagnetic field is made. There is a unique Lagrangian which does not increase the number of degrees of freedom required for the description of a spin two particle. However, other unsatisfactory features are hidden in the Lagrangian equations. They possess solutions which either fail to propagate or propagate at a speed greater than the speed of light. (8 refs)
