The Oath - John Lescroart
Goodreads Summary: "Lt. Abe Glitsky and defense attorney Dismas Hardy are back—on opposite ends of a medical malpractice suit…and possible murder case.
When the head of San Francisco’s largest HMO dies in his own hospital as the result of massive injuries inflicted by a random hit-and-run car accident. But the autopsy soon tells a different story and Abe Glitsky quickly sets his sights on attending physician Eric Kensing.
Desperate and in need of an attorney, Kensing turns to Dismas Hardy for his defense. Hardy must uncover a twisting conspiracy of avarice and violence that takes the lives it is sworn to save.
A timely and gripping novel that puts lives—and a long-standing friendship—at grave risk, THE OATH is John Lescroart at his galvanizing best."
A great mystery that kept me in suspense until the very end with a twist on the final pages. Lescroart is a good author who doesn't add all the blood and gore, which makes for a better read. The book brought to light the greed and what could (and probably does) happen in the medical field and insurance industry. Maybe that's why our country is in such financial despair regarding medicine and insurance.
I look forward to reading more by Lescroart.
