Riassunto

From First, Do No Harm, Dr. L. Jan Eira catapults readers into the gripping continuance of his medical murder mystery. With the release of his new book, Seconds from Revenge, he once again engages readers with medical hero Dr. Jack Norris, whose life is put in danger once again when an old enemy returns- bent on revenge. Several heinous murders had been committed at Newton Memorial using an investigational drug, which eventually became known as 'Rat Poison.' This experimental agent for heart failure patients was discovered to have deadly repercussions. Blinded by its potential lucrative rewards, three terrorists proceeded to test the drug on innocent men with much loss of life. With Dr. Norris' cooperation with the authorities, one of the executioners was killed, the other incarcerated for life, but the third villain - the mastermind known as Simon Lagrange - is still at large. Having escaped the law, Lagrange is now back and looking for vengeance-with Dr. Norris as his object of enmity. The mystery plunges as Lagrange sabotages Norris' credibility as a doctor, taking away many innocent lives without remorse. Co-workers of Norris helplessly fall prey to Lagrange's sinister plan; nobody can be trusted, everyone is a suspect. Soon, reality becomes a nightmare when an unexpected assault was made on Dr. Norris' life, nine-thousand feet above the ground. It was clear that Lagrange would stop at nothing to get him. Is Dr. Norris ready for the worst when he fi nds himself Seconds from Revenge? An arresting denouement awaits readers as Eira takes them deep into the story, confounding them with unexpected twists and revelations.

L'autore:

Dr. L. Jan Eira, is a practicing cardiac electrophysiologist in Indiana. He has devoted almost twenty years to the battle against heart rhythm disorders, most especially those that result in sudden cardiac arrest and death. Besides appropriate medicines, his tools include the implantation of devices and ablations, issues that are discussed briefl y in his novels, and in more detail at www.JanEiraBooks.com. Recently, he discovered his passion for writing medical murder mysteries, Seconds From Revenge being his second book. As a physician, Dr. Eira is constantly presented with unknowns amongst many suspect possibilities, much like a police detective. The pursuit to discover the truth requires methodic and rational critical thinking, often with insuffi cient time to do so, whether investigating a murder or the cause of chest pains or unusual heart rhythms. Dr. Eira writes his medical mysteries with this premise, resulting in quick-paced stories fi lled with action and twists. These fi ctional accounts overlie a background of medical facts, designed to teach the reader about different cardiac conditions with which Dr. Eira deals daily at his day job.
