Repeat medical thriller freebie from last year:
Stigma by Philip Hawley, Jr. Originally published in paper in 2007 by HarperCollins.
Quote:
When science surrenders to man's darkest impulses, who will protect the innocents?
In Los Angeles, a young Mayan boy with a blue-crescent-moon tattoo dies mysteriously. In Central America, a puzzling illness is spreading among Mayan tribal villages.
And soon, E.R. physician Luke McKenna will discover the link between these events and demons from his dark past. The secrets that haunt Luke are about to pull him and the woman he loves into a terrifying house of mirrors where nothing is as it first appears. Time is running out, and only by reawakening the ghost of Luke McKenna's past can they discover the truth.
His enemies may also discover a truth: When threatened, Luke McKenna is a very dangerous man.
