I truly enjoyed this medical mystery thriller.  There was enough "medical" in it to make it exciting for those who work in medicine or simply enjoy the excitement of a good medical whodunit.  On the other hand, the medical part was not weighed down by a bunch of uninterpretable jargon that leaves you scratching your head.  The culture of modern medicine was accurately portrayed and the protagonist, Dr. Curtis Scott, is frustrated with the reality of needing to keep costs down and still practice good, sound medicine.  He has just finished his residency and has taken a position in an HMO, and so he sees patients in the outpatient office as well as those in the facility's hospital.  He is on call, at times gets very little sleep, and he is married to a woman with champagne tastes.  He uncovers some medical chicanery going on at the HMO and is determined to get to the bottom of it and put a stop to it, with the incentive of his and his wife's survival hanging in the balance.I'll be looking for more from this talented author!
