Do No Harm
At Sovereign Trust Medical, the most dangerous god complex is the one holding the scalpel.
Dr. Rick Hardy isn't just the Chief of Surgery; he's a superstar. Brilliant, charismatic, and media-savvy, he brings millions in donations to the hospital by performing impossible medical "miracles" under the spotlight. To the world, he is a savior in an expensive suit.
But beneath the dazzling facade lies a terrifying reality. Hardy is a narcissist addicted to adulation, a man who needs to be worshipped as a god in the operating room. When the natural drama of surgery isn't enough to feed his ego, he creates his own-deliberately engineering high-stakes medical disasters just so he can heroically fix them while the cameras roll. And for the right patients, he's a ruthless vigilante.
Brenda Hamilton, a battle-hardened CVICU charge nurse with twenty years in the trenches, is the only one who sees the deadly pattern hidden beneath the praise. She knows the difference between bad luck and calculated malpractice. But St. Jude's is a corporate machine fueled by Hardy's success, and the administration will crush anyone who threatens their golden goose.
Isolated, discredited, and fighting a system rigged to protect the powerful, Brenda realizes Hardy is escalating. He has targeted a vulnerable young nurse, grooming her into a lethal accomplice for his most audacious spectacle yet.
Now, Brenda must risk her career and her life in a desperate race against time. She has one chance to penetrate Hardy's fortress of lies and expose the monster behind the mask-before his next manufactured miracle becomes another cold-blooded murder.
Perfect for fans of the high-stakes medical suspense of Robin Cook and Tess Gerritsen, and the psychological complexity of The Silent Patient. Do No Harm is a terrifying dive into the dark side of modern medicine, where the Hippocratic Oath is merely a suggestion.
