Pretty good medical thriller. On the one hand, I thought the pace was a bit slow. On the other hand, I did not guess the killer, I fell for the bait.

A medical thriller with lots of hospital action, doctors pitted against national health, and a filtering device that may be causing death each time it is used. Dr. Alex Airoway must save her brother's life and discover what is happening at her hospital.

Death is a fact of life at the Gillette Trauma Center, a prestigious Washington, D.C. facitity that gets more than its fair share of borderline cases. At some point the Drs. have all seen a recovering patient suddenly slip away as the result of a pulmonary embolus-a fatal blood clot that can form after serious injury. But lately it's been happening wiyh alarming frequency to patients of a certain Dr. Runyon. This is a very good medical thriller, a definate page-turner!!
