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!
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.
