Synopsis
Through a crisis of medical malpractice emerges evidence of how the medical profession itself is being harmfully transformed by the intrusion of powerful business interests. Not least is the growing prevalence of 'Concierge Medicine' where public-service doctors will take on private patients for a fee. In this enthralling story, which again features Dr Laurie Montgomery and Dr Jack Stapleton (whose long-term professional relationship here takes on a new twist), Robin Cook continues to enthral us with his deep personal insight into contemporary medicine but also provides readers with the biggest surprise ending found in any of his many bestselling novels.
Review
This book was so enthralling that I read it in under three days from start to finish.
It was like watching a CIS detective plot, but without the television on. The plot involves a patient who had died of supposedly a heart attach. The husband tried to sue the doctor who had looked after his wife. Through out the story you find yourself wondering what else can go wrong, But the twist comes right at the end of the book which you will have to read to find out what happens.
Robin Cook is an amazing writer of medical fiction and his knowledge of the world of Toxicology and Forensic Medicine are second to none.
This story had me on the edge of my seat until I reach the end.
