A MAN IS DEAD-SET ON KILLING THE DOCTOR WHO KILLED HIS WIFE IN UNDER THE KNIFE, AN UNPUTDOWNABLE THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF DOING HARM

“Best medical thriller I’ve read in twenty-five years.”
―Stephen King on Doing Harm

Biotechnology tycoon Morgan Finney is highly intelligent but shy and emotionally fragile. When his beloved wife, Jenny, dies of complications during a surgery led by Dr. Rita Wu, Finney’s grief turns to rage. He vows to kill Rita just as he believes she killed Jenny.

But first Finney will systematically destroy her life. He will take what is precious to her just as she did to him. Aided by a mysterious man, Finney uses advanced medical technology to ruin Rita’s reputation and bring her to the brink of madness. Alone, fighting for her life, Rita reaches out to her former lover, Dr. Spencer Cameron, for help. Together, they must fight to uncover Finney’s horrific intentions and race to stop him before it’s too late.

Review:

Praise for Doing Harm

“Best damn medical thriller I’ve read in 25 years. Terrifying OR scenes...characters with real texture.” ―Stephen King

“This skillfully wrought debut gets high marks for building tension to a breathtaking climax.” ―Library Journal, starred review

“The attention to detail keeps the action chillingly plausible.” ―Publisher’s Weekly

“This spectacular debut is a real nail-biter with startling revelations that build suspense throughout.” ―RT Book Reviews

“A terrific medical thriller―compelling, gripping, and terrifying. You’ll shiver with delight.” ―Harlan Coben

“A twist worthy of a surgical knot. Flawed characters standing on moral pedestals. Insight into the world of medicine and the ambitious geniuses who make life-and-death decisions. Doing Harm is more faction than fiction, presenting a world so close to our own that you find yourself second-guessing the characters as if they're sitting next to you. Repeatedly, I found myself breathless and troubled yet compelled to keep reading. Brilliant.” ―Ridley Pearson

“A classic cat-and-mouse game with a refreshing, unexpected twist. It opens with some remarkable bait―dangling a hook that the reader will definitely want to bite. Top notch storytelling.” ―Steve Berry
