Oath of Office

By Michael Palmer
Oath of Office by Michael Palmer digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A shocking medical thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat, from the New York Times bestselling author of A Heartbeat Away and The Last Surgeon.

What if a well-respected doctor inexplicably goes on a murderous rampage?

When Dr. John Meacham goes on a shooting spree in his office, his business partner, staff, and two patients are killed in the bloodbath. Then Meacham turns the gun on himself.

The blame falls on Dr. Lou Welcome, who worked with Meacham years before as a counselor after John's medical license had been revoked for drug addiction. Lou knew that John was an excellent doctor and deserved to be practicing medicine, and fought hard for his license to be restored. After hearing the news of the violent outburst, Lou is in shock like everyone else, but mostly he's incredulous.

As he begins to look into it further, the terrifying evidence he finds takes him down a path to an unspeakable conspiracy that seems to lead directly to the White House and those in the highest positions of power. This gripping medical thriller from New York Times bestselling author Michael Palmer is a page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very end. Perfect for fans of thrillers, mystery thriller suspense, and crime novels, Oath of Office is a political thriller that you won't be able to put down.
