Synopsis
Dr. Eric Najarian, is young, talented, and ambitious. He has all the qualities they're looking for at White Memorial Hospital. He doesn't know he's being watched. Judged. An elite clique of medical professionals thinks he has what it takes to join their secret club. All the young doctor has to do is agree to play by their rules... But Eric has already seen too much. A missing corpse. An unspeakable mutilation. A brutal abduction. It's only the beginning of a plot of terrifying evil. A sinister plan the group will stop at nothing to hide. And if Eric refuses to become their colleague -- he will be their next victim.

About the Author
Michael Palmer spent twenty years as a full-time practitioner of emergency medicine and was an associate director of addiction medicine in Massachusetts. He died in October 2013. Author Comments 'At Wesleyan University in Connecticut where I went to college, I took a seminar on Edgar Allan Poe. Poe wrote so effectively about people being buried alive that for years wills demanded that a bell-and-chain set-up be rigged in the deceased's casket just in case they awoke underground. What if there was a drug that could make a person look dead when they weren't?'
