Book Description
Too often we view death as an enemy to be denied, fought, and defeated, rather than as an inevitable and natural part of life. The medical establishment routinely buys into this view, promoting aggressive treatments by overselling technology and hope, which only prolong needless suffering for terminal patients and their families. But as this candid book shows, we don’t have to go down that path. As a long-time palliative and hospice care physician, Dr. Ken Pettit talks openly about a subject few of us want to discuss. His focus is not on prolonging life, but on helping terminal patients die “a good death,” with the best possible quality of life up to the end. Based on his work with hundreds of patients and families, as well as the life-altering experience of watching family and friends face death, Dr. Pettit illuminates, in the vivid detail that only an insider can provide, the failings of our medical establishment. He empowers us to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and prepare, with pro-active clarity, for our final days. This book will help all of us—patients, families, and medical professionals—break our collective silence about death, so we can develop better ways of discussing, treating, and encountering what we will all someday face.

Book Description
Who killed the killer? In this brilliant and startling psychological thriller, Jonathan Kellerman, perennial bestselling author, gives a sharp and timely twist to homicide's central question. Someone has murdered euthanasia champion Dr. Eldon Mate—a self-styled Dr. Death responsible for scores of assisted suicides. In a burst of bloody irony, the killer chooses to dispatch the doctor in the back of Mate's own suicide van, hooking him up to the killing apparatus dubbed "the Humanitron"—and adding some butchering touches of his own. The case is assigned to veteran LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis, who turns, once again, to his friend Dr. Alex Delaware. But working this case raises a conflict of interest for Alex so profound that he can't even discuss it with Milo. The tension that develops between cop and psychologist further complicates an already baffling and complex murder investigation—one whose suspects include the families of Dr. Mate's "travelers," Mate's own son, and a psychopathic killer who relishes the geometry of death. Dr. Death is a rich brew of unforgettable characters, labyrinthine plotting, page-turning prose, and the unique insights into the darkest corners of the human mind that have earned Jonathan Kellerman international accolades as the master of psychological suspense.

Book Description
Grimfield Hospital was voted safest hospital in America for the fourth straight year in a row but that was all about to change when tragedy struck the head surgeon Dr. Green of Grimfield Hospital’s family. Dr. Green’s steady hand and keen eyesight could not be matched by anyone in the town of Greenfield so he was either in the operating room or meetings all day and would arrive home by ten pm., every night. It was really taking a toll on his family life but couldn’t be helped because his wife loved money, booze and diamonds. Not much rest for the doctor but he loved his family more than anything and didn’t want to let them down so he stayed strong and stayed caffeinated all day long. Dr. Green’s world was about to turn upside down when he was at an out of town conference and got the call no one wants to get. His wife and two sons were involved in a car accident and the police didn’t have any more information. Dr. Green bolted out of the conference room and was able to charter a plane back home immediately but it would still take about an hour to get to the hospital. When the plane Dr. Green was flying on touched down at the airport runway it was too late his whole family was dead. As Dr. Green was stepping off the plane he received a call from the hospital breaking the bad news to him. Dr. Green yelled out in anger and threw his cell phone to the ground smashing it into a million pieces. An officer from Grimfield gave him a ride to the hospital to identify his family. When Dr. Green arrived at the hospital and stepped out of the patrol car he was greeted by an attending physician that was caring for his family. Dr. Green said “You let them all die!” “Dr. Green now calm down we did all we could for your family,” exclaimed the attending physician. Dr. Green replied in anger, “Bring me to them!” He was escorted by a police officer and the attending physician down to the basement to the hospital morgue to identify his family and affirmed that all three bodies were that of his family. Then he bent over and whispered in each of his family members ears and said “I will avenge your deaths and that is a promise.”

Book Description
Under the appearance of a caring doctor, Michael Swango planned and killed... Wherever he went, death followed... The story of Michael Swango is perhaps not quite as well-known as that of other prolific killers such as Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez, but this diabolical doctor may have killed more people than these two murderers combined. And, what makes the story of Michael Swango even more sinister is that he committed his crimes under the guise of medicine. He put up a facade that he was healing the sick when in reality he was purposefully making his patients sick. He was, in fact, killing them. Swango would approach his victims with a calm, perfectly crafted bedside manner before injecting them with his lethal dose of murder. Swango broke the sacred Hippocratic Oath that all physicians take, proclaiming that they will do no harm. What made this man break such a sacred trust in such a deplorable manner? Just what made this certified medical professional feel that he had a license to kill? Scroll back up and order your copy today!

Book Description
At just forty-one years old, Dr. Autumn Klein, a neurologist specializing in seizure disorders in pregnant women, had already been named chief of women's neurology at Pittsburgh's largest health system. More than just successful in her field, Dr. Klein was beloved - by her patients, colleagues, family, and friends. She collapsed suddenly on April 17, 2013, writhing in agony on her kitchen floor, and died three days later. The police said her husband, Dr. Robert Ferrante, twenty-three years Klein's senior, killed her through cyanide poisoning. Though Ferrante left a clear trail of circumstantial evidence, Klein's death from cyanide might have been overlooked if not for the investigators who were able to use Ferrante's computer, statements from the staff at his lab, and his own seemingly odd actions at the hospital during his wife's treatment to piece together what appeared to be a long-term plan to end his wife's life. In Death by Cyanide, Paula Reed Ward, reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, describes the murder investigation and the trial in this sensational case, taking us from the poisoning and the medical staff's heroic measures to save Klein's life to the investigation of Ferrante and the emotion and drama inside the courtroom.

Book Description
The first novel in the classic, hard-to-find, 1980s vigilante series...now back in print for the first time in decades."Doctor Death shoots, stabs and strangles as smoothly as most grandmothers make hot cocoa. He is as handy with a bayonet as he is with an Uzi. He spares no one." New Jersey Courier-ReviewKyle Youngblood was a Green Beret in Vietnam...where he became a relentless killing machine, fighting for God and country, while longing for the humanity he left behind. They called him Dr. Death. But when he returned home to his ranch in Nevada, to his loving wife and kids, he discovered that he couldn't escape the violence. It followed him like a shadow...and when Youngblood is forced to kill a man in self-defense, the son of a big-time mobster, the retribution is swift and brutal. But the mob's professional assassins who come for Youngblood don't realize he isn't just some "hick rancher." He's a man who won't be intimidated, who won't run from a fight...and who won't die easily. He's declaring war on a new enemy, using the same lethal skills that he mastered in the steaming jungles of 'Nam. This new edition includes an introduction by Eric Compton. co-host of the Paperback Warrior podcast, that explores the life of author Herb Fisher and what makes his four Doctor Death books unique in the men's action-adventure genre."Doctor Death appears to be a late 80s cash grab targeting Mack Bolan fans. It's much better than that. Herb Fisher gets everything right with Doctor Death. Kyle is an admirable protagonist and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his family transcends the printed page."
