Michael Palmer Livres

Le Dr Harry Corbett n'est pas inquiet en se rendant à l'hôpital où se trouve Evie, sa femme : l'opération qu'elle a dû subir était bénigne. Il compte même sur sa convalescence pour resserrer entre eux des liens assez distendus ces derniers temps. Or, quand Harry entre dans la chambre, Evie est morte. Et il est le suspect numéro 1... Pour se défendre, une seule issue : faire lui-même la lumière sur cette affaire. Quelles informations Evie, journaliste en vue, détenait-elle sur la Table ronde - un réseau d'assureurs soupçonnés d'expédier ad patres des patients trop coûteux ? L'a-t-on tuée pour la faire taire ? Mais l'assassin frappe de nouveau. Et cette fois, Harry sait que seul un médecin peut être le coupable... Après De mort naturelle, Michael Palmer nous dévoile une nouvelle fois les coulisses du système médical américain, où la maladie et la guérison se comptent en dollars. Et son scénario est d'une vraisemblance à vous donner froid dans le dos...

After a troubled past, Dr. Brian Holbrook has been given a second chance to prove himself. At state-of-the-art Boston Heart Institute, he's been chosen to join the medical team testing a new miracle drug. The initial results are so promising that Brian pushes to get his father--who suffers from a dangerous heart condition--accepted into the study. But Brian is beginning to suspect his superiors are hiding something. Why are crucial records disappearing? Why did a patient making startling progress suddenly die? Is the miracle drug a prescription for death? The answers could cost Brian more than his career. For at Boston Heart Institute, knowing too much is the quickest way to the morgue.
