Under the Knife

by Tess Gerritsen

Overview

For David Ransom, it begins as an open-and-shut case. Malpractice. As attorney for a grieving family, he's determined to hang a negligent doctor. Then Dr. Kate Chesne storms into his office, dating him to seek out the truth — that she's being framed.

First, it was Kate's career that was in jeopardy. Then, when another body is discovered, David begins to believe her. Suddenly, it's much more. Somewhere in the Honolulu hospital, a killer walks freely among patients and staff. And now David finds himself asking the same questions Kate is desperate to have answered. Who is next? And why?

An anesthesiologist unfairly blamed for a patient's death is drawn to the doctor-hating attorney who is litigating the case against the hospital in this complex, danger-filled, Honolulu-set romance that will keep fans on edge and off balance as the bodies mount up and the clever plot unfolds. First published as a Harlequin Intrigue in 1990, this taut, suspenseful tale still has the power to surprise and is among the popular suspense author's earliest works.
