Best Medical Thriller Out!

You already know the plot, but what you should know is that WH Watford is a writer to watch! I read his first - MORTAL STRAIN -and loved it. When LETHAL RISK came out, I bought six and gave them to my mystery loving friends. This guy can write! Move over Robin Cook and Michael Palmer, Watford is on the loose. The characters are fully written and believable, the setting is wonderfully portrayed, and the action is non-stop. But wait..there's more! The plot has more twists and turns than I was ready for, and best of all, I was totally unprepared for the surprise ending. Now, I'm a mystery writer too...and Watford was so clever, I figured the villian wrong. How's that for a recommendation?

Fast Read with great characters

I really enjoyed this book. It grabs you early with action and interesting characters that are three dimensional, with real emotions that pull you in. It's a fast read, which makes for an unusual combination of good pace and good characters. Jack Harris is not your typical doctor, but rather is one who has pulled himself out of a tough background to be a doctor. He used to work on off-shore oil rigs, and has a tough side and some raw emotions that are very believable. Yet he has the compassion to stick his neck out for a runnaway girl, whose subsequent disappearance from a room streaked with blood gets Harris blamed for murder. The web he uncovers in trying to save himself and the girl is enough to make this reader sit up all night. I hope Jack Harris is in the next book!
