Abstract:
In an emergency -- when every second counts – is it realistic for anyone to say that a physician acted one second too late? In another edition of the acclaimed “Dr. Lassiter” mystery series, ”Sprague the Plague” isn’t a new flu, it’s the nickname of a devastatingly effective malpractice lawyer who’s zeroed in on one of Dr. Lassiter’s friends, a physician. Yet Sprague’s zeal to see this one particular physician twist in the wind isn’t ‘business’. It’s personal. Trapped between duty and corruption, Lassiter finds himself playing in the high-stakes game of a medical malpractice lawsuit – where something called ‘Truth’ seems to be up for sale to the highest bidder.
