Inherent Consent

About the Book

Prominent Johns Hopkins physician Robert Hutton is brutally murdered one late August night. His killers then attempt to murder Beth Brecker, a physician training under him, but she barely escapes. However, she is left with many unanswered questions as she goes on the run. A famous health care reform zealot is behind the killings, and she will not rest until Brecker is dead. The chase-and the search for answers-has begun.

The current issues facing medicine, including fraud, alternative health, and managed care, are intertwined in this fast-paced story of high-minded idealism and real world greed.
