Harry Dreyfus just got promoted to medical director of a rehabilitation hospital after his co- workers got charged with insurance fraud. He replaces his former co-workers with a new team and soon discovers that there is a murderer on the loose. Is it a spouse of a recently imprisoned former colleague? Someone he had just hired? One of the evasive young men who had started hanging out in the corridors? Someone else? This mystery novel not only has a medical setting, but also relies on medical principles and knowledge for the solution to the killings. Some alternative and complementary medicine is introduced too. Expect to learn several health-care facts while you read. Join Dr. Dreyfus as he fights hospital and other pressures and tries to identify the killer, or killers. Will he succeed? Will he survive? This novel introduces two characters, Bruno Petroso and Randolph Sabin, who later appear in another novel, The Seven-Point Star. Edward Harshman, the author, has not only gone through a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation, but also incurred a neck fracture with severe but temporary paralysis. He has also done house calls alone and unarmed in New York City and, more recently, incurred a jail term due to a bad divorce. Expect to read about a vivid and unique viewpoint of the rough-and-tumble world of the inner city and of the horrendously dissimilar world of insider politics.
