From the author of Deadly Odds: Politics and medicine collide in the courtroom—as a doctor stands trial for his role in a patient's assisted suicide. With a tumor in her brain, Meredith Costello knew too well what kind of debilitating agony she faced. And so did her physician. Neurologist Alex Cutter had watched a myriad of patients die lingering deaths from the same affliction: their brains slowly deteriorated while their minds remained intact and fully aware. So when Costello begged Cutter to help her take back control—if not of her life, then at least of her death—he did what he thought was right. Now he's being called a murderer. With his freedom and reputation on the line, Cutter must decide whether to give in to the pressures of a deeply religious and conservative Southern community—or risk everything by standing trial to fight for what he believes. This is a suspenseful medical and legal drama... Views: 6

He has served on the faculties of both the University of Washington and the University of Tennessee, and in 1992 was recruited by the prestigious Swedish Medical Center to develop a neuroscience institute. In 2002, he left active practice to become Medical Director for a startup med-tech company (that went public in 2006) and he now chairs the Institutional Review Board of a major medical center in the Pacific Northwest. Leveraging a love for thrillers since the early 70's, Wyler devoted himself to fiction writing in earnest, eventually serving as Vice President of the International Thriller Writers organization for several years. After publishing his first two medical thrillers Deadly Errors (2005) and Dead Head (2007), he officially retired from medicine to devote himself to writing full time. He and his wife, Lily, divide their time between Seattle and the San Juan Islands. Views: 6
What is the connection between a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a tennis player? To the casual observer, apparently nothing. When a houseparty gathers at Gull's Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head.Robert Graves, author of I Claudius, was a neighbour of Agatha Christie's in Devon during the Second World War and the two became friends. Christie dedicated this book to Graves: "Dear Robert, Since you are kind enough to say you like my stories, I venture to dedicate this book to you. All I ask is that you sternly restrain your critical faculties (doubtless sharpened by your recent excesses in that line!) when reading it. This is a story for your pleasure and not a candidate for Mr Graves' literary pillory!" The book was dramatised by Agatha Christie and Gerald Verner. It was adapted for TV in 2007 with Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple. Views: 6
