Currently free @
Amazon (available to Canadians but not free in the UK, though it may drop later). Not likely to show up elsewhere as prior Oceanview freebies have been Amazon only.
Also, watch out if you don't like preachy possibly-religious/political viewpoint pushing, as apparently this is quite strong in the book, according to
one at least two of the reviews which you might want to skim before starting if you are sensitive to these things.
Description
Well on his way to realizing his dream of becoming a successful surgeon-scientist, Eli Branch seems destined for academic stardom. After years of research, Eli is on the cusp of a groundbreaking discovery that could light the way for the future. But, as Eli will soon learn, today's medicine has a dark side.
While investigating the suspicious death of one of his patients, Eli uncovers an elaborate web of lies spun by his late father, a longtime professor of anatomy at Mid-South Medical College in Memphis. Instead of finding answers, Eli only finds more questions-and more victims, each meeting a sudden, violent end.
Eli joins forensic pathologist Meg Daily to find a common thread among the victims. As they piece together the chilling puzzle, Eli and Meg plunge headfirst into the world of deadly medicine-a world way too close to home.Trapped in the paradox of ending one life to save another, Eli and Meg find that in this life-or-death race against time, one false step could be fatal.
