Publisher Description

“A suspenseful page-turner…jolts and entertains the reader.” —Mary Higgins Clark

Inside Boston Doctors Hospital, patients are dying. In the glare of the operating room, they survive the surgeon’s knife. But in the dark, hollow silence of the night, they die. Suddenly, inexplicable, horribly. A tough, bright doctor will risk his career—his very life—to unmask the terrifying mystery. A dedicated young nurse unknowingly holds the answer. Together they will discover that no one is from…The Sisterhood.

“Terriffic…a compelling suspense tale.” —Clive Cussler

"An interesting commentary on euthenasia. The author goes so far as to call it that rather than to keep referring to it as mercy killing. It also puts the main question of where the line is drawn for this kind of thing into focus. It was a good story. I had some of it figured out and other parts not so much, so it was as predictable as what I thought it was going to be. Some of it didn't contribute much to the overall story. I'd recommend it."

    " This particular book had the plot twist of a doctor who had been an alcoholic and drug user, who got rehabilitated and was finally accepted back at a large hospital--similar to another book I have recently read. Thia doctor gets into trouble when a terminal patient dies, though the deed has been done by a nurse who is a member of the Sisterhood, a group which plays God and deals with euthanasia, or just plain revenge. It starts out slowly, but gets rather exciting in the last third. "

    " Excellent, excellent story. I don't know when this was written, but my best guess would be the early 80s. A bit dated in some ways, but very tightly put together. I polished this one off in about two days. I'm thinking I may need to go back and read some of Palmer's other older titles. "

    " I am a big fan of mysteries and I particularly enjoyed this one being that it was a medical mystery. Also, the author gave a lecture during my Addiction Medicine course which gives it that much more meaning. "

    " This was my first novel by Michael Palmer and I really liked it. I'm a big fan of Robin Cook and this reminded me a lot of some of his books. If you liked Coma you would probably like the Sisterhood. My having worked in a hospital for over 35 years makes me lean towards medical thrillers. "
