Fatal Intent

When Kate presses, surgeon Charles Ricken places the blame squarely on her shoulders. Kate is currently on probation, and the chief of staff sides with the surgeon, leaving Kate to prove her innocence and save her own career. BOOK BLURB : As she comes closer to exposing the culprit's identity, she faces professional intimidation, threats to her life, a home invasion, and, tragically, the suspicious death of someone close to her. The stakes escalate to the breaking point when Kate, under violent duress, is forced to choose which of her loved ones to save—and which must be sacrificed. This is a well-written medical drama. As the author, herself, is an anesthesiologist, I was expecting to see a great deal of credibility. I was not disappointed. The author has done a fine job dealing with thought provoking end-of-life issues. Plenty of twists and turns kept me glued to the pages It's fast-paced, suspenseful from start to finish.
