About This Book
Dr. Ben Pritchitt, a prominent Memphis (TN) physician, is assisting elderly and terminally ill patients in dying with dignity. In the doing, he jeopardizes everything he holds dear — his wife, family and home, his reputation and profession. Pritchitt's daughter, Assistant District Attorney Terry Mercer, is unable to sway her father from his self-destructive course. Terry's boss, politically ambitious D.A. Jeremy Bates, seeks the imprisonment of Pritchitt. Meanwhile, Pritchitt finds himself the unwilling partner of an obsessed serial killer, Simon, who kills young women who have had abortions. Simon imagines that he and Pritchitt have parallel destinies — both messengers of death. As a web of euthanasia, murder, kidnapping and abortion is woven, the question quickly becomes: Who will entrap Pritchitt first? The police or Simon?
