Was it medicine? Mercy? Or murder? For the sake of his conscience, Jake has to find out-before a paranoid stalker exacts his revenge. When pregnant Sarah Hampton dies suddenly at an alternative cancer treatment facility, an enraged community demands to know whether her physician-husband assisted her death. Suffering from traumatic amnesia, Jake Hampton would like to know too. He strongly opposes assisted suicide, and yet his wife was suffering such agony-is it possible he helped her die? After barely avoiding a murder trial, and hoping to regain his memory and unravel the questions he's not sure he wants answered, Jake joins a medical practice in his former hometown. Once there, he not only continues to encounter public suspicion, but receives subtle and threatening clues from an unidentified stalker. Are his wife's death and the stalker's appearance mere coincidence? Or is someone trying to destroy him completely? In this medical thriller, practicing surgeon and accomplished novelist Harry Kraus uses complex characters, fascinating medical details, and depictions of spiritual warfare to keep readers riveted. This edition of Lethal Mercy features a new cover design and is the follow-up to Kraus's Fated Genes and Stainless Steal Hearts.

Great Experience!!,
By Lynnea (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lethal Mercy (Paperback)
I've never read a book that had such an impact on my life. Harry Lee Kraus' writing style is wonderful, and because he is a doctor, he knows what he is talking about as we follow Sarah Hampton's battle with cancer. As I read through this book, I fell in love with the characters, and I felt like I had known them all my life. Never has an author achieved such a perfect mixture of realism and heart-felt warmth. It's so good to know that our authors today can still write a good story without cursing, sex and unnecessary violence. What a great story and encouragement!

Lethal Mercy,

This review is from: Lethal Mercy (Paperback)
This was the first fiction by Harry Kraus I read. There were exciting times but there was too much of the character's thinking to themselves. I skimmed a lot. It had an interesting twist ending. I've read 3 more since and liked them better.

Great medical mystery!,
By Shelly Burke, RN "Publisher and Editor, the &... (Genoa, Nebraska, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lethal Mercy (Paperback)
As a nurse, I love medical mysteries, and with the added bonus of being written from a Christian point of view, this book was a definite winner from page 1!
The plot is riviting, with several plots woven together but easy and interesting to follow. Current ethical issues were interwoven and brought to life as Dr. Hampton's wife fights cancer in an alternative facility. A mysterious stalker adds to the mystery . . . I will be reading the rest of Harry Kraus' books ASAP!
