Description

In the heart of Montreal, Dr. Sarah Adams is a respected thoracic surgeon—precise, composed, and trusted in the operating room. But when a former trauma patient files a complaint, her world shifts. Accused of negligence and bound by institutional silence, Sarah finds herself under investigation by an unrelenting medical regulator.

As she fights to clear her name, the pressure mounts—within hospital corridors thick with whispers of betrayal, and at home, where she struggles to shield the family she’s desperate to protect. In a system designed to protect itself, even the best doctors can be sacrificed.

Set against the stark beauty and political complexity of Montreal, Silent Oath is a gripping medical thriller by physician-author J.P. Brutus—delivering emotional depth, surgical precision, and pulse-pounding authenticity in a story that cuts to the heart of modern medicine.

Advance Praise

“A taut, gripping medical thriller that plunges readers into the high-stakes, high-pressure world of modern healthcare.” — Charnjit Gill, author of Pray Tell

“… Set in Montreal, the city itself becomes a living, breathing character, its old bars, quaint restaurants, and Quebec winters inviting the reader in.” — Betty R. Wall, author of No Way Out

"Silent Oath by J.P. Brutus was full of corruption, injustice, and betrayal. With the fast-paced plot, I never knew what to expect next. Enough time was allowed between the events to process everything fully before the next event. The engaging writing style had me hooked from the first page." -- Readers' Favorite
