A Medical Thriller.

What happens when a top surgeon begins to crack under the strain of his personal life and patients start to die? A sudden spike in patient deaths drives an impassioned ICU nurse to launch a clandestine investigation, targeting a powerful cardiac surgeon whose corrupt connections could destroy her career.

Allison Jamison, an experienced intensive care nurse, becomes suspicious when a recent wave of major surgical complications results in unnecessary patient deaths. She enlists the professional expertise of her friend, Detective Mark Derning, whose interests include more than an investigative role. When her probe targets Dr. Gary Tamarino, the powerful, narcissistic chief of cardiothoracic surgery at San Francisco Bay Hospital, she encounters a staggering level of deceit and revenge while delving deep into his far-reaching web of corruption.

Abuse of power, manipulation, callousness, and desperation drive the dark side of a man who also saves lives on a daily basis. Will he destroy her career before she can do anything to stop him?

Critical care nurse Allison Jamison is concerned with the recent increase of return-to-surgery and/or deaths of cardiac patients. Concern turns to suspicion when she learns the patients all have the same doctor, Gary Tamarino, the powerful chief of cardiothoracic surgery. He’s also arrogant and has a God complex.

After sharing thoughts with coworkers, Allison contacts Critical Cover Up, a medical malpractice investigative agency she just happens to own. She also reaches out again to Florida-based police detective, Mark Derning, who agrees to come to San Francisco to look into the case. Allison soon becomes aware Mark is interested in pursuing more than just the case. However, before the investigation—or the romance—makes any headway, tragedy strikes, leaving Allison a patient of the very man she’s investigating.

Medical malpractice is only the tip of the iceberg and part of Tamarino’s sins. Determined to hold on to his job and status, he sets his sights on Allison when he learns she is behind the investigation.

Well-written with smooth, well-paced narration, A Cure for Deceit is a winner. While for me, it doesn’t quite reach the level of “thriller,” it’s solid suspense with an interesting cast of well-developed characters that will delight readers of mystery, suspense, and even women’s fiction.

Enjoy!

(I volunteered to review A Cure for Deceit as part of a promotional book tour. Opinions are my own!)
