Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Best damn medical thriller I’ve read in 25 years. Terrifying OR scenes, characters with real texture.” —Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Doing Harm is a terrific medical thriller--compelling, gripping, and terrifying. —Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
A classic cat-and-mouse game with a refreshing, unexpected twist. It opens with some remarkable bait--dangling a hook that the reader will definitely want to bite. Top notch storytelling. —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author
“This spectacular debut is a real nail-biter with startling revelations that build suspense throughout. Steve’s back is constantly against the wall, and it’s exciting to watch him battle the criminal mind.” —RT Book Reviews (4½ stars)
“When Steve Mitchell, chief resident at Boston’s acclaimed University Hospital, is introduced by narrator Petkoff, he’s a man whose speech rings with confidence when discussing his happy marriage and bright future…Petkoff skillfully handles Steve, taking the doctor through major mood swings—from smug self-satisfaction and arrogance to puzzlement, concern, surprise, and, finally, despair. Enacting the murderous med student, Petkoff tones down the insanity in favor of an oddly playful and eager attitude that is positively chilling.” —Publishers Weekly
A twist worthy of a surgical knot. Flawed characters standing on moral pedestals. Insight into the world of medicine and the ambitious geniuses who make life and death decisions. Doing Harm is more faction than fiction, presenting a world so close to our own that you find yourself second guessing the characters as if they're sitting next to you. Repeatedly, I found myself breathless and troubled yet compelled to keep reading. Brilliant. —Ridley Pearson, author of Choke Point
