About the Book

From the master of the medical thriller and author of "Critical Judgment" and "Silent Treatment" comes the story of Dr. Brian Holbrook, who is thrilled about his opportunity to work on the trial of a new miracle drug. But when a patient dies and records disappear, Dr. Holbrook can't afford to voice his fears, or he might find himself in a new facility--the morgue.

Book Synopsis

The master of medical suspense takes you to prestigious Boston Heart Institute, where some patients are dying to get well

"A highly entertaining tale of greed and medicine run amok."--Chicago Tribune

After a troubled past, Dr. Brian Holbrook has been given a second chance to prove himself. At state-of-the-art Boston Heart Institute, he's been chosen to join the medical team testing a new miracle drug. The initial results are so promising that Brian pushes to get his father--who suffers from a dangerous heart condition--accepted into the study.

But Brian is beginning to suspect his superiors are hiding something. Why are crucial records disappearing? Why did a patient making startling progress suddenly die? Is the miracle drug a prescription for death? The answers could cost Brian more than his career. For at Boston Heart Institute, knowing too much is the quickest way to the morgue.
