Description

A new bestselling thriller in the Jack Forester series by the author of the Amazon #1 bestseller Final Mercy.

"A smart, suspenseful novel that masterfully intertwines medicine and mystery . . . " -Kirkus Reviews

". . . a wickedly suspenseful novel that also has enormous heart." -Christine Sneed, author of The Virginity of Famous Men and Please Be Advised: A Novel in Memos

"Doctor Witch is a fast-paced, suspenseful thriller written by an author who knows how to craft a spellbinding story." -Karen Shughart, author of the Edmund DeCleryk mystery series

"What made this book so powerful was how real everything felt. The emotional stakes were just as intense as the physical danger, which made for a very satisfying read. I appreciated how the author created moments of reflection even amid the action. Jack's growth throughout the story was subtle but meaningful. This book has a lot to offer beyond its thriller label." -Amazon reader

Dr. Jack Forester has seen his share of trauma as an emergency physician. He's now the dean of a medical school and a single father still grieving the death of his wife. But the real abyss opens when a brilliant former colleague that Jack had flushed from cover as a psychotic serial killer a few years before conspires to destroy Jack and his hospital with the help of a cybercriminal. Jack is also faced with the need to somehow aid his beleaguered niece, Kaitlyn Anderson, a valiant teenager struggling to navigate a horrific home environment. Things grow even more perilous when Kaitlyn gets entangled in the villain's web.

Advance Praise

"In Doctor Witch, Frank Edwards performs true literary sorcery: he delivers a wickedly suspenseful novel that also has enormous heart and many comedic moments. These characters and their harrowing adventures will stay with you long after you've read the last sentence. A very fine new book from a writer of many gifts." -Christine Sneed, author of The Virginity of Famous Men and Please Be Advised: A Novel in Memos

"Doctor Witch is a fast-paced, suspenseful thriller written by an author who knows how to craft a spellbinding story. The plot could be straight out of a James Bond movie, but with Frank Edwards's own unique twists and turns. This stand-alone third in the Jack Forester series is a can't-put-down tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end." -Karen Shughart, author of the Edmund DeCleryk mystery series

"There's far more going on at New Canterbury Medical Center than meets the eye. A megalomaniac who runs a floating nation has the facility in his crosshairs, a beautiful impostor stalks the halls, and a creepy serial killer lurks nearby, too. Frank J. Edwards's imagination fills the pages with so many twists, turns, and evil plots-good luck putting it down and turning in for the night! A great novel." -Matt Barrows, coauthor of Muddy the Water

"In his latest in the Jack Forester series, Edwards draws on his own medical and combat experience to deliver a gripping thriller. Losing his job as director of the university's medical center, Dr. Forester struggles to overcome life-threatening obstacles placed in his way by an international conglomerate. Edwards skillfully casts new light on key events in earlier books (including the death of Forester's wife) while priming the reader to anticipate future developments." -Ray Collins, author of Setup and Motive for Murder

"In Doctor Witch, Frank Edwards performs true literary sorcery: he delivers a wickedly suspenseful novel that also has enormous heart and many comedic moments. These characters and their harrowing...
