Duck Blood Soup

About the Book

Author Michael Palmar called Duck Blood Soup, "a powerful, haunting story," and a, "well-written, important, intensely engaging novel [that] chronicles the addiction of a physician with sensitivity and fearlessness." He said of the author, "Molea knows the inner workings of addiction as well as anyone, and writes about them with passion and compassion." Palmer, himself a physician and the author of nine medical mysteries, said, "I have spent decades searching for ways to help people understand drug and alcohol addiction in physicians. Now, I will begin by recommending this book."
