Having spent twenty years as a full-time practitioner of emergency medicine, this author sets his high-octane thrillers amid the skulduggery and corruption of the medical professions, pharmaceutical, big money, hospitals, that sort of thing which makes for a fascinating backdrop to his action. It is all pretty scary stuff.
