As chief of surgery at Pittsburgh University Medical Center, Dr. Jack Merlin knows that patient fatalities are a fact of life. But when four people die after successful routine operations, he has cause for suspicion. The victims have nothing in common-except the same insurance carrier. And the more he unravels the truth, the more ruthless he discovers his adversaries to be-but Merlin has more than one trick up his sleeve. . . .
