Dr. David Calder prefers to avoid entanglements in life, but is passionate about his patients. As a result, when one of his hospital patients dies under suspicious circumstances, he feels compelled to investigate...only to uncover the shocking trail of a stealthy serial killer. If enigmatic patients and secretive hospital staff aren't challenging enough, Calder's stress skyrockets when he himself becomes the police's prime suspect. Meanwhile, Calder's life goes on, including a mother with cancer, a sister with autism, and a fiancee fighting local politicians to establish a respite house. Calder's persistence in gathering and analyzing clues finally leads to the truth, but culminates in a collision course with the serial killer. The dramatic, do-or-die confrontation and its aftermath feature even more startling revelations. Daniel Reinharth practices internal medicine, writes a medical blog (awordfromyourdoctor.com), and has authored the other Dr. David Calder mysteries. Jon Matthew Farber, a retired pediatrician, is a member of the Mystery Writers of America. He has published numerous short mystery stories, most recently in The Third Black Beacon Book of Mystery.
