Paperback. In the spring of 2020, Dr. Marcus Kessler is one of the best emergency physicians at Ravenswood Presbyterian Hospital - and one of the most quietly desperate men in New York City. As COVID-19 fills his hospital's hallways with the dying and its morgue with the unclaimed, Kessler discovers a horrifying opportunity in the chaos: bodies that will never be missed, families that will never ask questions, and a black-market meat wholesaler willing to pay for whatever he can deliver.What begins as a single, cold transaction becomes a two-year operation. Kessler harvests organs from the dead before they're cremated. He pulls gold fillings from the elderly. He sterilizes what's left under ultraviolet light and sells it - as cheap ground beef - into the fast-food supply chain, certain that a city drowning in its own catastrophe will never look closely enough to notice what he's really doing.It takes a new nurse to notice what a pandemic-shattered system couldn't. When Sarah Delgado's patient is wheeled into quarantine with a COVID diagnosis that doesn't match his symptoms, she has no idea she's about to uncover the worst thing to ever happen inside Ravenswood's walls - or that she'll arrive just in time to stop it happening again.Doctor Death is a novel about what a good hospital, a broken system, and one man's greed can hide from the world when nobody is looking - and about the people who refuse to stop looking anyway. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

About the Author
M.J. Johansen is a horror and thriller author known for fast-paced, character-driven fiction that finds the darkness hiding inside ordinary institutions - hospitals, small towns, families. Johansen's catalog spans supernatural horror, literary fiction, sci-fi, and historical adventure, including All Hallows Eve, My Guardian Angel, Unhallowed Ground, Widow's Hollow, Born a Genius, What Heaven Is Like, and The Fate of the Fancy. Doctor Death is Johansen's first foray into medical thriller territory, drawing on the real institutional chaos of the pandemic years to imagine how easily trust can be exploited when a system is stretched past its limits.
Johansen lives and writes in the United States and is currently at work on the next novel.
