Under the Knife
Share
From a former physician described as "the new queen of medical suspense" ("Romantic Times") comes the story of a doctor who must defend her reputation when a patient under her care and a nurse die after a routine operation. When another hospital worker turns up dead, and Kate begins to piece together the facts, she must save not only her career, but her life.
For David Ransom, it begins as an open-and-shut case. Malpractice. As attorney for a grieving family, he’s determined to hang a negligent doctor. Then Dr. Kate Chesne storms into his office, daring him to seek out the truth — that she’s being framed. First it was Kate’s career that was in jeopardy. Then, when another body is discovered, David begins to believe her. Suddenly it’s much more. Somewhere in the Honolulu hospital, a killer walks freely among patients and staff. And now David finds himself asking the same questions Kate is desperate to have answered. Who is next? And why?

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
