Mystery

After being injured, surgeon Eli Branch is working at a small hospital ER, hoping he'll heal enough to return to his once successful career. What he doesn't expect during his recovery is to be pulled into a hospital calamity surrounding a former colleague, Dr. Liza French. She specializes in robotic surgery, but patients have died during her procedures and her program is in danger of being scrapped. Liza is convinced the deaths weren't the fault of her equipment or skill and she wants Eli's help to sort the problem out. But when murder occurs at the hospital, Eli believes the deaths are connected to whatever is going on with Liza's surgeries. Intense personalities and situations weave through this medical mystery, creating a powerful and absorbing story. I'm looking forward to more novels by this author!

SUMMARY

While recovering from a career-threatening injury, surgeon Eli Branch is pulled into the turbulent world of Dr. Liza French, a colleague he hasn't seen in ten years. Liza uses their past to lure Eli into a highly-publicized debacle in a Memphis hospital that has put her own career in jeopardy. But when the murder of medical personnel at Gates Memorial appears related to Liza's surgical complication, Eli finds that more lives are at imminent risk. Eli discovers clues from the victims that match anatomical art found at the crime scenes, a connection that leads him to the manuscript of a sixteenth century anatomist whose methods of dissection are over four centuries old-but are being reenacted in the present. Aided by the expertise of forensic pathologist, Dr. Meg Daily, Eli uncovers a pattern to the escalating deaths and the search begins for a killer the media and the city come to know as The Organist.
