No Cure for Murder

By Lawrence W. Gold

Book Overview

Death at Brier Hospital is anything but unexpected. In a facility where life and death often hang in the balance, murder becomes the perfect crime, amid the chaos of routine loss.
Jacob Weizman, a seasoned physician, and his wife, Lola, a sharp-witted psychotherapist, are Holocaust survivors who have seen humanity at its worst. They need no reminders of evil's persistence in the world. As octogenarians, Jacob and Lola defy stereotypes of aging. Their keen intellect, competence, humor, and profound sense of history make them compelling protagonists in a society that too often dismisses the elderly.
After fifty-five years of practicing medicine, Jacob has grown accustomed to the inevitability of death, even when it strikes unexpectedly. But when a series of his patients die under increasingly suspicious circumstances, Jacob senses a sinister pattern. Someone is stalking the halls of Brier Hospital-and targeting his patients.
Although Jacob has made his share of enemies over the years, he cannot fathom anyone murdering for revenge. Yet as the body count rises, the hospital and law enforcement scramble to tighten security and hunt for the killer. Despite their efforts, the murderer grows bolder, weaving through the chaos with chilling precision.
The investigation takes a dark turn when the killer shifts their sights, making Jacob the ultimate target. Now, Jacob and Lola must combine their wisdom, resilience, and unyielding spirit to unmask the culprit-before the next death is their own.
