I will be reading more of Michael Palmer's books in the future. This was a very intriguing book. The plot seemed very believable and interesting. Characters were easy to relate too.
second reading better than the first

i have read all of Doctor Palmers books, and keep coming back to this one, his first. I love them all, but this one seems to stick in my mind (pun intended -read the book). my wife, a retired registerd nurse, has taken on a sinister aspect in my mind after reading this. you will never be comfortable alone with a nurse in an examining room again after reading this one.
I've read all of his books except "Patient"

Yes - his books seem to following the typical formula/recipe for medical mystery thriller - BUT, each of the eight paperbacks of his books I finished in record time and couldn't get enough of them! After reading the first one "Silent Treatment" I ordered the other seven to read too! Yes, I too am fairly good at guessing the next "thing" that will occur in mystery books that I read - but I am pretty good at doing so with mystery movies and TV series too - so this is nothing new to me. I have to say that I have also passed on his books to friends and family to read and they are just as captivated by his writing ability and plots as I have been! They are a good, exciting, fast read and if that is what you are after you won't be disappointed - give his books a shot - I certainly did - and I'm not in the least bit disappointed that I did.
How does he do it????!!!

This is one of the greatest books I have ever read! It has everything that a good book should have, but yet he still finds little cracks to fill in to make it better. It has action, drama, chases, and a whole lot of adventure!!!You have to read it to believe it...Palmer never fails to write a good book, and this book is no exception!!
Wow!

I'm a nurse and this book really made me think! I just discovered Michael Palmer this year and am trying to read some of his older books. So far, I am really impressed! This book will keep you reading long into the night and with one surprise twist after another, it is never boring!
