About This Book

Paul Henry Young's compelling tale Death of a Healer clearly places him into the spotlight as one of America's premier writers of medical thrillers. The story stunningly illuminates the darker side of the medical world in a way nonfiction could never accomplish.
Death of a Healer chronicles the lifelong journey of Jake Gibson, M.D., diehard romanticist and surgeon extraordinaire, as he struggles to preserve his professional oath against the avarice and abuse of power so prevalent in present-day America.
Follow Jake as he runs headfirst into a group of sinister medical and legal practitioners determined to destroy his beloved profession. Events begin spinning out of control when Jake uncovers a nationwide plot by hospital executives to eliminate certain patient groups in order to improve the bottom line.
With the lives of his family on the line, Jake invokes a self-imposed banishment as a missionary doctor and rediscovers his lifelong obsession to be a trusted physician.
Death of a Healer is a masterfully constructed suspense novel; packed with the kind of gritty authenticity only a gifted writer can portray.
