To The Bone

by Neil McMahon

Working in the ER, Dr. Carroll Monks tries a risky medical procedure in an attempt to save a beautiful young woman apparently suffering from the aftereffects of plastic surgery. The attempt fails, the woman dies, the plastic surgeon blames Dr. Monks, and it looks like he is about to be slapped with a career-wrecking malpractice suit. Torn with remorse, Monks investigates the pasts of both the surgeon and the dead woman, and discovers that her death may not have been as simple as it first appeared.

Publisher Notes

She was gorgeous, young ... and dying horribly as she was carried into San Francisco's Mercy Hospital. But no one recognizes the mystery ailment that destroyed an all-American beauty queen whose life had spiraled downward into a seedy world of skin and video sex. And as the ER physician on duty, Dr. Carroll Monks will have to do penance for her death. Now, with his career at stake, Monks is looking for answers in a shadowy place where the desperate come seeking enduring youth and enhanced beauty -- and where the knife of a world-famous plastic surgeon can perform miracles ... or abominations.

Media Reviews

"...[E]xhilirating....This exciting and tautly written thriller crackles with suspense and narrative tension throughout....McMahon comes into his own with this scalpel-sharp effort." (starred review)
