Description of product
Intervention is a ripped-from-the-headlines medical thriller from the creator of the genre, Robin Cook. Its been more than thirty years since New York City medical examiner Jack Stapletons college graduation and almost as long since hes been in touch with former classmates Shawn Doherty and Kevin Murray. Once a highly regarded ophthalmologist, Jacks career took a dramatic turn after a tragic accident that destroyed his family. But that, too, is very much in the past: Jack has remarried to long-time colleague and fellow medical examiner Laurie Montgomery and is the father of a young child. A post-mortem on a young college student who had recently been treated by a chiropractor, leads Jack to investigate alternative medicine. What makes some people step outside the medical establishment to seek care from practitioners of Eastern philosophies and even faith healers? Jacks classmate Shawn Doherty is now a renowned archaeologist and biblical scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.
