Summary

A surgeon is gunned down in the street—but who is the woman who wanted him dead?Brice Hanchett is a brilliant surgeon, and those who work alongside the man consider him either godlike or devilish.

He has a wife and a mistress, as well as the attention of all the nurses in the hospital. One of them is waiting for him when he goes out to his Jaguar, a gun in her hand. It takes only two shots to remind Brice Hanchett that even the finest surgeon cannot cheat death.Investigating the case falls to Lieutenant Frank Hastings and the boys in San Francisco Homicide.
