Description:
From the first metallic click of an operating microscope to the ultimate closing of a titanium clip over the neck of an aneurysm, Dr. Jack Phillips' life of medicine suddenly includes murder when a distinguished Chinese patient dies not only by the surgeon's scalpel, but a bullet. But there are secrets here. Ambitions thwarted. Love betrayed. One phone call horribly shifts the tenuous balance between devotion to medicine & commitment to family. In one explosive instant, Phillips experiences the frightening helplessness that his patients know when disease threatens their lives. For the first time in HIS life, Jack Phillips is vulnerable. From the operating room to the secret tunnels of San Francisco's Chinatown, this story tracks the demonic mission of a young assassin in pursuit of vengeance. As opponents wearing many masks crisscross the Golden Gate Bridge, Phillips' ordeal unfolds into an unexpected tale of human frailty. Brian Andrews' story is an insider's account of the terrors & triumphs, compulsive work, & heartless competition in the world of medicine. The skill required to surgically enter the human brain comes shockingly close to the rage locked in the human mind. KNIFE UNDER FIRE is, finally, the story of love gone berserk.
