Thriller
Dr. Lou Welcome, from Palmer's bestselling Oath of Office, is
back in this heart stopping medical thriller. A desperate phone
call embroils Lou in scandal and murder involving Dr. Gary
McHugh, known around the Capital as the “society doc.” Lou has
been supervising McHugh, formerly a black-out drinker, through
his work with the Physician Wellness Office. McHugh has been
very cavalier about his recovery, barely attending AA and
refusing a sponsor. But Lou sees progress, and the two men are
becoming friends. Now, McHugh has been found unconscious in his
wrecked car after visiting a patient of his, the powerful
Congressman Elias Colston, Chairman of the House Armed Services
Committee. Soon after McHugh awakens in the hospital ER,
Colston's wife returns home to find her husband shot dead in
their garage. She then admits to the police that she had just
broken off a long-standing affair with McHugh. Something about McHugh's story has Lou believing he is telling
the truth, that the Congressman was dead when he arrived and
before he blacked out. Lou agrees to look into matters, but when
he encounters motive, method and opportunity he is hard pressed
to believe in his friend—that is until a deadly high-level
conspiracy begins to unravel, and Lou acquires information that
makes him the next target.
