Description
When Boston-based Dr. Craig Bowman is served with a summons for medical negligence, heโs shocked, enraged, and more than a little humiliated. A devoted physician who has endured grueling years of training and worked continuously in the service of others, he is now a partner in an exclusive concierge medical practice. No longer forced to see more and more patients while spending less and less time with each one just to keep his office door open, he provides the kind of medical care he has been prepared to do, lavishing twenty-four-hour availability and personalized attention on his handpicked patients. And at last he is earning a significant income, no longer facing decreased reimbursements from insurance companies. But this idyllic situation comes to a grinding halt one sunny afternoonโand things get much, much worse.Enter Dr. Jack Stapleton, a medical examiner in New York City and Bowmanโs brother-in-law: Jackโs sister Alexisโnow Bowmanโs estranged wifeโbegs for his help as her husbandโs trial drags on. Jack agrees to travel to Boston to offer his forensic services and expert-witness experience to Craigโs beleaguered defense attorney. But when Jackโs irreverent suggestion to exhume the corpse and thereby disprove the alleged malpractice is taken seriously, he opens a Pandoraโs box of trouble. As Craigโs life and career are put on the line, Jack is on the verge of making a most unwelcome discovery, of tremendous legal and medical significanceโand there are people who will do anything to keep him from learning the truth.
