In this new exhilarating medical mystery-thriller from New York Times bestselling author Robin Cook, fan favorites Jack and Laurie are lured back into the dark underbelly of hospital dangers when an internist is brutally murdered.
Colleagues-turned-spouses Doctor Laurie Montgomery and Doctor Jack Stapleton already have their plates full with crazy work schedules and family pressures. The last thing they need is a murder. So, when Laurie's longtime friend from medical school Dr. Sue Passero dies mysteriously in the hospital parking garage, Laurie insists on an autopsy and asks Jack to take on the case.
Defying the Office of Chief Medical Examiner's rules, Jack sets out to investigate and soon learns about an individual who he feels is lingering too closely around Sue's death. After discovering information that connects his suspect to Sue, alongside a robust report about medical serial killers associated with the Manhattan Memorial Hospital, Jack finds himself faced with the most difficult and dangerous forensic investigation of his career. What started out as an inquiry into Sue's tragic passing turns into a dangerous cat-and-mouse chase between Jack and Sue's troubled killer - a sociopathic, narcissistic medical provider - who might just administer another lethal blow if Jack isn't careful.
