The First Patient

When Gabe Singleton's old friend asks him for a favor, the Wyoming doctor readily agrees. But the old friend just happens to be the President of the United States, and the favor he asks plunges Singleton into mortal danger.

This intense thriller features good pacing and good characterization, but loses points with its ending, which has an Ultimate Villain who -- while definitely a surprise -- seems to have fuzzy motivations, and wrap-it-all-up resolution is a bit too slick to be credible.
