SYNOPSIS

Doctor Robert Merriweather is used to being in control. As Chief of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Miami’s Miller School Of Medicine, he cannot afford to be otherwise. But when Doctor Jacobsen, his friend and mentor, is brutally murdered in Robert’s office, the illusion of control is quickly shattered. The hospital staff thinks it was a random killing, but Miami homicide detectives, Andy Molinaro and Enrique Gonzalez, know better. Doctor Merriweather is preparing to testify against Northstar Drug Company and Apollo Pharmaceuticals, two global conglomerates whose drugs have caused devastating harm to his patients and thousands of others. As they investigate possible links between the lawsuit and the murder, Molinaro and Gonzalez learn of several people with motive to see that the good doctor is permanently silenced. They follow the breadcrumbs from Miami to Midtown Manhattan, to a Russian mobster’s café in Brighton Beach, but they keep coming up empty.After a deranged man attempts to break into the OR while Merriweather is operating, everyone begins to think that he should lie low until the threat is over. But Merriweather is more determined than ever to take stand, frustrating the cops and his colleagues alike. Is the killer a crazed stalker or some hired gun commissioned by the highest echelons of Big Pharma? More importantly, can they stop him before he strikes again?
