DescriptionDr Tim Fletcher had found hospital rotations inconvenient; it didn't occur to him they could be dangerous. Finishing work at 2 am, all he was thinking about was seeing his girlfriend and staying awake. So he didn't notice the figure behind him, dressed in black and armed with a scalpel. Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick doesn't like what he sees. Tim's muscles were deliberately injured to cause long-term damage; damage that will prevent him from becoming a surgeon. Evidence points to a personal grudge, until a spate of similar attacks leaves Resnick looking for a killer. Frantically trying to stem the panic that's spreading throughout the city, he soon discovers that there is such a thing as having too many clues.
