Description

This fall, the Hippocratic Oath promise Do no harm takes on a whole new meaning in the nail-biting new medical thriller DISSECTION by debut author Cristina LePort, MD (Bancroft Press/ October 20, 2022;), perfect for fans of Vince Flynns Mitch Rapp novels and Robin Cooks medical thrillers.

In DISSECTION Dr. LePort tells the story of DC heart surgeon Dr. Steven Leeds, who is suddenly besieged by a handful of complicated heart attack and stroke cases, all caused by a rare arterial injurya dissection. All the victims have first received cards announcing: Your heart attack/stroke will arrive within one hour! Private detective Kirk Miner and FBI agent Jack Mulville investigate, and they immediately suspect Leeds former lover, Dr. Silvana Moretti, a brilliant research scientist who harbors a grudge against all the victims.

When prominent people in the U.S. government begin to receive the same threatening cards and almost immediately experience these same deadly cardiac emergencies, it falls to an unlikely team of threethe headstrong FBI agent, the gifted private investigator, and the conflicted heart surgeonto find the actual perpetrators and foil the catastrophic plot before its too late.

Says Dr. LePort, At medical school, I specialized in Internal Medicine, and had been practicing for over 17 years when, one day, while attempting to get into a Cardiology fellowship, I started to listen to Ayn Rands lectures The Art of Fiction. I was inspired to write a novel and I became addicted to the feeling of entering a world where I could make anything happen.
