Tess Gerritsen — Under the Knife ; Whistleblower

Mira Books 2007 Paperback, 453pp. For attorney David Ransom, it begins as an open–and–shut case: malpractice. Then Dr. Kate Chesne storms into his office, daring him to seek out the truth – that she's being framed. When another patient turns up dead, David starts to believe her. Somewhere in the Honolulu hospital, a killer walks freely. And now David finds himself asking the same questions Kate is desperate to have answered. Who is next – and why? When Victor Holland came flying out of the night, he ran straight into the path of Catherine Weaver's car. Having uncovered a terrifying secret that leads all the way to Washington, Victor is running for his life – and from the men who will go to any lengths to silence him. Though Victor's story sounds like the ravings of a mad–man, the haunted look in his eyes – and the bullet hole in his shoulder – tell Cathy a different story. As each hour brings pursuers ever closer, she has to wonder, is she giving her trust to a man in danger or trusting her life to a dangerous man?, (ISBN: 9781741165159). Good.
