Hocus Corpus

Front Cover
Penguin Publishing Group, 1999 - Fiction - 403 pages
As chief resident of surgery at Pittsburgh University Medical Center, Dr. Jack Merlin knows that patient fatalities are a fact of life. But when four people die after successful routine operations, he has cause for suspicion. The victims have nothing in common, except the same insurance carrier. It's a tantalizing link, but it doesn't explain how, or why, each of them was infected with a lethal bacteria.
