Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
Culture-clash and medical detective work make uneasy bedfellows in this stiff debut from physician Schonberg. After his lover is killed by her jealous husband in a murder-suicide, John Hartman flees to the backwater of Gallup, N.M., where he throws himself into his work, treating Navajos at the Indian Health Service facility and living the life of a hermit. U.S. Secretary of State Sam Spencer also makes work his "wife and mistress" when his family dies in a car crash. The unlikely, unlucky pair is thrown together when Spencer, on a visit to New Mexico, sees a sick Indian boy and delivers him to Hartman's hospital. When the boy's sickness turns out to be bubonic plague, the race is on to notify Spencer, who has been infected, before it is too late. Schonberg has a good feel for the hospital milieu, but that can't save his novel from its flat characters, whom Schonberg treats like galley slaves, beating away beneath his hugely implausible plot. (Oct.)
Library Journal
In territory long held by Tony Hillerman, Schonberg explores the life and customs of contemporary Navajo Indians in this debut novel. Unlike Hillerman's work, this is not a mystery but the story of Dr. John Hartman, a young physician with the Indian Health Service in Gallup, New Mexico. The town's Indian population is threatened when a critically ill Navajo boy is brought to the hospital with a deadly contagious disease. The town elders push for quarantines and other measures prejudicial to inhabitants of the reservation. Hartman, sensitive to native customs, attempts to beat disease and social injustice while putting his own life back together. The narrative is flawed by a beginning that fails to connect with the heart of the story as well as by an implausible subplot. A marginal purchase.Terrill Persky, Woodridge P.L., Ill.
