Summary

Master of scalpel-sharp suspense, New York Times best-selling author Michael Palmer brings his unique experience as an emergency room physician to each of his sensational thrillers. In The Patient, he creates a beautiful neurosurgeon from Boston who must treat a cold-blooded killer or forfeit the lives of hundreds of innocent victims. Dr. Jesse Copeland is experimenting with ARTIE, a tiny robot designed to remove previously inoperable brain tumors. When a notorious terrorist-suffering from a deadly tumor-hears the news, he orders Jesse to use ARTIE to heal him. But the bio-engineering device isn't ready for surgery, and even worse, Jesse's infamous new patient demands a complete recovery, or his followers will set off Boston's worst nightmare. Michael Palmer injects authentic details and spine-tingling terror into this chilling novel. Narrator Paul Hecht places you on the scene at Eastern Massachusetts Medical Center as Dr. Jesse Copeland pioneers a medical breakthrough
