A serial killer targets top executives at HMOs in this medical thriller by New York Times-bestselling author/physician Michael Palmer. Dr. William Grant, a devoted and highly altruistic surgeon, holds a very public grudge against HMOs: he's a member of the Hippocrates Society, an organization which believes that health-care insurers care more about increasing their profit margin than about supplying desperately needed services to policy holders. When Will is framed for the managed-care murders, he struggles to clear his name with the help of a rookie detective who's hoping to make a name for herself by solving the case.
