Race for the Dying: A Dr. Thomas Parks Mystery de Steven Havill

Race for the Dying: A Dr. Thomas Parks Mystery: Dr. Thomas Parks

Autor Steven Havill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2014
A newly minted graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1890, Dr. Thomas Parks heads to the big timber country of Puget Sound to practice trauma medicine. An hour after stepping off the boat, he's nearly crushed to death by a less-than-surefooted mule, and finds himself a patient rather than a physician. As he convalesces, he discovers that his host, an aging and venerable physician friend of his father's, is hosting an elaborate medical scam, selling worthless concoctions nationwide, with enormous sales. Besides doing his best to treat patients while he himself hobbles about with one functioning eye, one hand, and one leg, Dr. Thomas must decide whether or not to expose the old family friend. Things become even more complicated when his host's daughter, Alvi, falls in love with Thomas. Exposing the scam would destroy her father.

Recenzii

"The second Parks historical medical thriller (see Race for the Dying) is a great tale that focuses on the state of medicine in rural Puget Sound in the last decade of the nineteenth century. The cast makes the tale as the doctors struggle to contain an epidemic that threatens the village and nearby towns, but the impact on everyone is deeply felt by the audience. Steven F. Havill’s series is a strong saga worth reading."—Harriet Klausner of Comes a Time for Burning
 
"Havill, author of the Bill Gastner and Posadas County mystery series, shows his skills in characterization and plotting here, as he personalizes nineteenth-century medical mail fraud to create a compelling historical novel."—Booklist of Race for the Dying
 
"Havill sets up a number of colorful dramatic situations that ought to please readers who take their westerns neat." —Publishers Weekly of Race for the Dying
