The Oath

Medical malpractice or murder? Glitsky and Hardy take opposite sides of the case-in the newest bestseller from the author of The Hearing. When an HMO executive is hit by a car during a morning jog through his exclusive San Francisco neighborhood, he has the bad luck to be transported to one of his own hospitals...and winds up dead in his ICU bed. But in spite of the rumors about his company's substandard care, this death appears to be a case of malice, not of malpractice. Lt. Abe Glitsky has strong suspicions about a doctor with opportunity, means, and motives to spare. But working up a case won't be easy.

John Lescroart, the New York Times bestselling author of such novels as The Mercy Rule, The 13th Juror, Nothing But the Truth, and The Hearing, lives with his family in northern California.
