Description

"A well-crafted, fast-paced medical crime thriller that will put you in the middle of the ER, holding your breath. The plot will unfold and suck you right in. And, as a bonus, there's a great dog!" –Jeffrey Jay Levin, author of Watching

AJ Docker (Doc) and his guard dog, Banshee, move to a small town in the mountains for a slower-paced lifestyle. Doc settles into the idyllic setting with a rewarding job and enriching colleagues, as well as with a romantic interest who leads him to contemplate marriage. His new life seems perfect until he begins to uncover the town's dirty secrets. A serial killer hunts in the woods, and dirty money flows throughout the town.

Doc and Banshee win allies in their search for truth, but they also make powerful enemies. These sophisticated figures who control the town's economy will stop at nothing to end Doc's threat to expose them. Doc must fight for his freedom, and even for his life to escape.

Faulty Bloodline, a fast-paced thriller, continues the adventures of Doc and Banshee that began in Last Patient of the Night. Gary Gerlacher's writing will keep you up late into the night as you want to keep reading the next page.
