A Dangerous Diagnosis: A Novel


Overview

A jaded doctor for the ultrarich becomes entangled in this fast-paced- medical thriller where The Sanatorium meets The Recovery Agent. A jaded doctor for the ultrarich becomes entangled in this fast-paced medical thriller for fans of Robin Cook and HBO's The Pitt. Brilliant diagnostician and renowned physician Dr. Sanjay Patel once dreamed of being a doctor at a free clinic, serving those in need. Now he treats billionaires by private jet and gets paid in Gucci totes packed with cash. But when his estranged mentor, Dr. Tom Carpenter, scribbles ""Page Dr. Sanjay"" on a blank prescription moments before collapsing from a fatal stroke, Sanjay is pulled back to the hospital that nearly ended his medical career, Boston's Mount Beacon Hospital. There, he reunites with cancer researcher Emma Carpenter-Flores, Tom's daughter-and the woman whose heart Sanjay broke a decade prior. Forced to team up, their search unearths a trail of disturbing cases and soon find themselves the target of a powerful medical-industrial complex that will stop at nothing to protect its secrets. With patients' lives at stake, Sanjay and Emma must risk everything to find the truth and expose it before the very foundation of medicine is destroyed in this timely medical thriller, perfect for fans of The Lincoln Lawyer and House.
