Crisis by Robin Cook (2006)

Robin Cook writes an excellent medical thriller. CRISIS is no exception. Filled with tension, twists and turns, Cook takes the reader on a surprise filled ride. Dr. Jack Stapleton, a returning character from a previous novel, carries the plot forward.

Jack is a medical examiner and flies from New York to Boston to help his sister, whose husband is being sued for malpractice. Jack is on a deadline for personal reasons as well as for the trial that is coming to a rapid close.

Threats, assaults, and numerous close calls do not stop Jack in his pursuit of the truth. Jack's brother in law, Craig Bowman, on trial for malpractice is also a member of a new form of medical practice called consierge medicine. Cook offers varying opinions on this type of medical practice through several testimonies during the trial. Very thought provoking.

Cook writes this medical thriller, set in present day, and makes the reader think about the underlying social problems developing in health services as well as the story line in his novel.

A fast paced page turner, Robin Cook does it again in CRISIS, his latest medical thriller. I look forward to more from Mr. Cook; he never disappoints.
