Thriller Medical
From the author of RED CAT and THICK AS THIEVES: a gripping
new thriller about a medical doctor with a powerful
humanitarian impulse, an unhealthy appetite for risk, and a
knack for finding himself between a rock and a hard place. Adam Knox comes from a long line of patrician Connecticut
doctors—a line he broke to serve with an NGO in the war-torn
Central African Republic. His attempt to protect his
patients there from a brutal militia ended in disaster and
disgrace, and now he runs a clinic near Los Angeles’s Skid
Row, making ends meet by making house calls—cash only, no
questions asked—on those too famous or too criminal to seek
other medical care. When a young boy is abandoned at his clinic, Knox is
determined to find the boy’s family and save him from the
not-so-tender mercies of the child welfare bureaucracy. But
Knox’s search for the volatile woman who may or may not be
the boy’s mother leads him and his friend, a former Special
Forces operator, into a labyrinth of human traffickers,
Russian mobsters, and corporate security thugs; and squarely
into the sights of a powerful, secretive, and utterly
ruthless family that threatens to destroy Dr. Knox and
everything—and everyone—he holds dear.
