A comatose patient is in the hands of three doctors who want to use her as a test subject for a new medical procedure. But as the procedure nears completion something goes horribly wrong. And the doctors must face the consequences of their medical mishap.
I'm sorry," she whispered, "but this is for your own good." "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely steady. My heart slammed against my chest at the sight of the needle she held. "Please," she murmured soothingly. She lowered her hand. "It's the only way."
Just a routine doctor visit suggested by the boss? "I've been like this since 1189."
The prologue introduces four brilliant but deeply disturbed doctors, each practicing in different hospitals and hiding a dark secret: they kill, not to heal, but for power, control, or twisted satisfaction. Dr. Elias Ward manipulates a surgery to cause a life-threatening injury just to prove he can save the patient — and becomes a media hero. Dr. Claire Voss secretly kills a patient with a mislabeled IV but masks it as a natural death. Dr. Haruto Kagawa, a pediatrician, eliminates a neglectful mother under the guise of care. Dr. Lena Mireaux, a psychiatrist, emotionally manipulates her patients into breakdowns and death, all while maintaining a calm, nurturing façade. Each believes they are unique in their darkness — until they receive an anonymous letter: “You’re not the only one.” This sets the tone for the novel: a hidden network of psychopathic doctors drawn together by something (or someone) darker than themselves.
