Synopsis

I had not read his previous book, but found this one to be interesting. I thought I had the story all figured out, but was I wrong! Philip gets involved in the case and can't let go, knowing that it could cause him problems. It kept me reading through the night to find out what would happen!

About this title

Review

Thoroughly engaging blend of medical tech, mystery, local Philly flavor and just plain fun. Dr. Kowey found a way to skewer the legal, medical and tech industries in one fell swoop. I enjoyed it immensely and look forward to reading the next novel. -- Medicine, murder, and tort lawyers are a dangerous mix "Deadly Rhythm"

From the Inside Flap

Al Romanzo is a World War II veteran living out his days in a nursing home in the coal-mining region of northeastern Pennsylvania. A nasty fall prompts an admission to a Scranton hospital where, a few days later, he dies after an unexpected cardiac arrest. His two children, who had abandoned him years earlier upon leaving for Southern California, decide to bring a malpractice claim against his doctors. Dr. Paul Wilson, the defendant cardiologist, requests a case review by Dr. Philip Sarkis, a brilliant academic who lost his career, his family, and nearly his sanity in a messy malpractice case years before. Philip now lives on a lake in the Pocono Mountains with attorney Dorothy Deaver and their two Portuguese water dogs. He's practicing medicine in a modest outpatient clinic, looking for ways to make some money and restore his psyche.

With the help of Dorothy and her private detective father, Dick, Philip dives into the case and comes to believe that Al's death may not have been what it seemed. In fact, Philip and Dorothy are horrified to find that dozens of old German and Italian men in the region, including a childhood friend of Philip's, have died in other hospitals in the region under remarkably similar circumstances.
