Publisher's summary

When Dr. Craig Bowman is served with a summons for medical malpractice, he's shocked, enraged, and more than a little humiliated. A devoted physician who works continuously in the service of others, he endured grueling years of training and is now a partner in an exclusive concierge medical practice. No longer forced to see more and more patients while spending less and less time with each one just to keep his office door open, he now provides the kind of medical care he is trained to do, lavishing 24-hour availability and personalized attention on his handpicked patients. And at last, he is earning a significant income, no longer burdened by falling reimbursements from insurance companies. But this idyllic practice comes to a grinding halt one sunny afternoon and gets much, much worse.

Enter Dr. Jack Stapleton, a medical examiner in New York City and Bowman's brother-in-law: Jack's sister Alexis, now Craig's estranged wife, tearfully begs for his help as her husband's trial drags on. Jack agrees to travel to Boston to offer his forensic services and expert witness experience to Craig's beleaguered defense attorney. But when Jack's irreverent suggestion to exhume the corpse to disprove the alleged malpractice is taken seriously, he opens a Pandora's box of trouble. As Craig Bowman's life and career are put on the line, Jack is on the verge of making a most unwelcome discovery of tremendous legal and medical significance; and there are people who will do anything to keep him from learning the truth.

WOW!

i usually like all robin Cook's work, but this is positively the best. i am a mystery fan and can say 99.9% of the time figure out "who done it", but this book i kept jumping all over this place, this one did it, no, that one did it and so on. the ending surprised me so much i couldn't believe it. Jaw-dropping! read it all over right away and enjoyed it just as much if not more, the 2nd time! utterly fantastic book!

Good old-fashioned brain-candy-thriller

I got what I wanted from this book--nothing too challenging, but a nicely paced medical thriller. I've read Robin Cook before, and this one wasn't one of his best as far as I'm concerned, but I think I got my money's worth, as I was definitely engaged & entertained.

Crisis

Good, but long..... Quite intesting, if you stay with it..

enjoyed the read

One of my favorite authors With a twist in his Storyline and A great read. Sometimes the books leave you with an eerie feeling Especially When a character steps out of Usual behavior pattern.

Super book!

I love Jack Stapleton books anyway. Very good story. I've listened to lots of Robin Cook's books. And I love George Guildhall. He's my favorite narrator.

disappointing

the absence of Police investigations into highway shooting and a massive traffic crash is glaring and disappointing

Crises

Wonderful!!! loved every minute of it!!!! Robin Cook delivers!!!! I would recommend this story. X

the details of Mr Cook's writing.

There are a few glitches in the recording, but it is worth it! I want to know more about what happens to his sister's family and why did, what he did!?

Just ok

I'd never read one of Cooks books before so had nothing to go by.
Didn't love the reader.
The story dragged on and I was waiting for some type of spectacular ending because it was implied I was going to get one.
The ending was a bit of a surprise but nothing wowie!
The book was just OK...I've certainly read better.

mystery/suspense
