Do No Harm

by Liz Tynan

How much can you trust your doctor? University lecturer Miranda McDermott discovers that doctors can be deadly when she is drawn into the world of Jassie Cashion and her father Ben, an undetected medical serial killer. Before Miranda can fathom Ben’s murderous activities, both Jassie and Ben die in ambiguous circumstances. Miranda begins wrestling with the dilemmas and mysteries that they have bequeathed her. Increasingly she realises that she is in personal danger and has to overcome her terror to find out the truth about Ben and his legacy; a legacy not even Ben himself could have predicted.
