Do you love books that are filled with suspense, twisted schemes and great characters caught up in a tempest of crime, corruption and lies?

Do you love a hero who pulls no punches and never gives up?

Richard Kurtz was looking forward to spending a few weeks in the West Virginia mountains, covering for another surgeon. It should have been a pleasant break from his busy New York practice, giving Kurtz and his wife, Lenore, a good excuse to return home to the family farm and reconnect with his father and his father’s new family.

And then Lenore stumbles on the skull of a young girl at the bottom of a creek and fifteen dead bodies are discovered in a shallow grave.

Kurtz never intended to become a crime fighter. Kurtz is a surgeon. Surgeons heal people.

But fate has a way of interfering and Richard Kurtz has a knack for stumbling into trouble. Kurtz is a part time police surgeon, with close connections to law enforcement and the NYPD.

So, it’s only natural that Kurtz cannot resist trying to untangle a conspiracy that involves organized crime, political corruption and a serial killer hiding out in the woods, who is determined to continue killing, no matter the cost.
