Publisher Description
When HMO executive Tim Markham is hit by a car during a morning jog through his exclusive San Francisco neighborhood, he has the bad luck to be transported to one of his own hospitals…and winds up dead in his ICU bed. But in spite of the rumors about his company’s substandard care, this death appears to be a case of malice, not of malpractice—especially after Markham’s entire family is gunned down in their home.
Lt. Abe Glitsky has strong suspicions about a doctor with opportunity, means, and motives to spare. But working up a case against Eric Kensing might not be easy, especially when Glitsky has to rely on two bumbling rookies to gather the evidence. When defense attorney Dismas Hardy takes Kensing on as a client, both Glitsky and Hardy have to worry not only about losing the case, but about losing a best friend as well. And as the investigation leads to something bigger than they expected, they may both be in danger of losing their lives as well….

"A great book about health care and HMO's. Many characters, I had to make a list of them because sometimes the author would use the 1st name and other times the last name. The ending was a ride and the characters were all rich. "

The Oath Listener Reviews

" Excellent read! Really kept me guessing until the end. "

" Eh. Should have been better. "
— Andrea, 2/17/2011 -
" Can't really recommend it to anyone... the character of Dismas, the defense attorney, proves to be a gelatinous blob of mopiness that the author occasionally tries to make appear deep, troubled and many-layered. If he has layers, they're each more 'dismal' than the last. "
— Lynne, 2/4/2011 -
" Not the best in the series, but an interesting storyline none the less. Nice to see some old characters pop back into these novels. "
— Joe, 8/25/2010 -

" A scary look at "managed health care". "
— Deanna, 11/27/2009 -
" Great murder mystery solved by Abe Glitsky and Dismas Hardy. Revolves around a California hospital, cost containment, murder of chief of hospital. All set in SF area. Couldn't put it down. "

" It took me a while to get into this book. Once I did, it was good, but not great. I was pretty sure from early on whodunit and I was right. "
— Nancy, 6/24/2009 -
" Enjoyed the book and, as usual with John Lescroart's books, came away with some usable knowledge. I enjoy the relationship between Glitsky and Hardy and especially enjoy listening to the book on CD. "
— Cathy, 3/31/2009 -
" A typical Lescroat: always captivating and easy to read. "
