Summoned to the hospital to learn the motives behind a teenage girl's suicide attempt, psychologist Alan Gregory discovers that the girl's young stepsister lies near death in another hospital with a heart disease. Denied an experimental new treatment that could save her life by her parent's managed-care provider, the stepsister has become a symbol of a health care system more concerned with costs than with the lives of its patients. And when a wealthy executive of the family's HMO is found dead, Alan and Denver detective Sam Purdy uncover the truth that links the teenage girl to his death, and the truth behind a family willing to kill in the name of love...and revenge.

While this was certainly another solid installment in the Alan Gregory series it didn't had quite as much punch as the other novels. The pace was slow, and the story almost so convoluted that I didn't care to see it resolved. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable enough read.
