The New York Times bestselling author and master of medical suspense delivers another shocker of a thriller filled with insider details and a terrifying psychopath
Four murders.
Three accidents.
Two suicides.
One left.
THE LAST SURGEON
Michael Palmer's latest novel pits a flawed doctor against a ruthless psychopath, who has made murder his art form. Dr. Nick Garrity, a vet suffering from PTSD – post traumatic stress disorder – spends his days and nights dispensing medical treatment from a mobile clinic to the homeless and disenfranchised in D.C. and Baltimore. In addition, he is constantly on the lookout for his war buddy Umberto Vasquez, who was plucked from the streets by the military four years ago for a secret mission and has not been seen since.
Psych nurse Gillian Coates wants to find her sister's killer. She does not believe that Belle Coates, an ICU nurse, took her own life, even though every bit of evidence indicates that she did – every bit save one. Belle has left Gillian a subtle clue that connects her with Nick Garrity.
Together, Nick and Gillian determine that one-by-one, each of those in the operating room for a fatally botched case is dying. Their discoveries pit them against genius Franz Koller-the highly-paid master of the 'non-kill' – the art of murder that does not look like murder. As Doctor and nurse move closer to finding the terrifying secret behind these killings, Koller has been given a new directive: his mission will not be complete until Gillian Coates and Garrity, the last surgeon, are dead.

David Bagdasarian, Nick’s attorney, entered the crowded room carrying two huge boxes of pastry.

“Breaking news, Nick,” he said. “Yesterday evening, Ramsland’s latest bail appeal was denied. Too great a flight risk. The guy is going to stay locked up until his trial. His lawyers argued that without Aleem Mohammad, the prosecution doesn’t have much of a case, but the judge disagreed.”

Jillian, who was standing nearby, gave the lawyer a thumbs-up.

“I guess the judge knows a mass murderer when he sees one,” she said.

The fallout from the government cutting a deal with Mohammad in exchange for his statements and cooperation had not fully dissipated. There had been demonstrations, and an organization called No Deals was agitating the CIA to disclose the terrorist’s whereabouts and to begin proceedings to bring him back.

“Anything new on Paresh Singh and the money-laundering charges?” Nick asked.

“Not since he jumped bail and vanished. India is a big country and he has more than enough money to bribe anyone. Nobody thinks they’re going to find him.”

Junie came in from where she had been arranging the equipment in the new Helping Hands thirty-nine-foot Winnebago.

“Do you want me to take you home?” Nick asked.

“What do you think?” Junie said. “This is more physical labor than I’m used to, but the doctors say it’s good for me to start pushing myself a bit more. And now that I don’t have to worry about this guy every day since you’re adopting him”-she put her arm around Reggie-“I’ll be back to a full schedule in no time.”

“Remember,” Reggie said, “you promised I could go with you on the first run in the new RV. It’s not exactly a limo but, like you said, I plan on having my own one day.”

“Mr. Mayor,” Junie said. “Things are slowing down a little now. Would you like to come out and see the new RV you helped us raise money to purchase?”

“I’d like that very much,” the mayor said.

Together, Jillian, Junie, Reggie, and Nick guided the mayor to the street where the two vans were parked. Second Chance, leashed to the steering wheel, greeted them proudly.

“This is my dog, Chance,” Reggie said. “Chance, this is the mayor.”

The mayor toured the new RV briefly and thanked them before heading off. For a time the four of them stood quietly, looking at a glass-enclosed display on one wall. In it was a poster-size version of the picture of Umberto Vasquez that Nick had carried from street to street for four years, and beside it was the photo of a beautiful young woman reading a book beneath a tree.
