BENEATH ONE BRILLIANT DOCTOR’S KINDLY BEDSIDE
MANNER…
Dr. John Kappler was a well-respected
physician in dozens of California hospitals, yet none of his
patients ever imagined that his real profession was
murder…
LURKED AN INSATIABLE
KILLER…
The horror began the day he secretly
attempted to kill three patients—including a pregnant woman
who suffered permanent brain damage at his evil hands. Then,
in a driving rampage, Kappler rammed another car, stole it,
and used it as a lethal weapon. Yet, incredibly, his fellow
doctors bailed him out of jail, and he was soon back on the
job.
WHO LURED HIS PATIENTS INTO A VICIOUS
CIRCLE OF DEATH…
Desperate to satisfy his lust for
killing, Kappler cruelly plunged a patient into cardiac
arrest. Next, he pulled the plug on a defenseless man
unconscious in a hospital bed. Still, no one stopped him.
Finally, he exploded in a terrifying rage of violence and
murder. Pressing the accelerator of his car to the floor, he
cut down a promising young doctor and seconds later maimed a
toddler’s mom for life.
Author Keith Ablow, a
close friend of the murdered physician, paints a chilling
portrait of a twisted modern-day Jekyll and Hyde.
