A Legal Thriller by William Underwood When veteran Houston attorney Bill Haywood receives a frantic call from a grieving family, he expects a routine medical malpractice case. What he uncovers on the ninth floor of St. Dominic's Catholic Hospital is anything but routine. A series of patient deaths - all on the same floor, all under the care of the same physician - points to something far more sinister than negligence. A brilliant and charming cardiologist with an impeccable reputation, has been quietly playing God with his patients' lives. As Haywood digs deeper, he finds a trail of falsified records, tampered medication logs, and witnesses too frightened to speak. Working alongside a determined District Attorney and a conflicted hospital nurse, Haywood races to build a case before more patients die - and before the doctor's powerful allies in the medical establishment can bury the truth. The investigation puts Haywood's career, his family, and his life at risk as he battles corruption at the highest levels of Houston's medical and legal community. The courtroom becomes the ultimate battleground. In a dramatic criminal trial that grips the city, Haywood and the DA must convince a jury to hold a beloved doctor accountable for crimes committed behind closed doors - crimes the establishment has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal.
