Dr. Knox
Dr. Knox | Peter Spiegelman
8 posts | 10 read | 7 to read
Dr Adam Knox returns from the war in Afghanistan a little rougher, a little wiser, and a lot more inclined to kick it to the ones at the top. The ones in charge. He sets up a clinic in Los Angeles's most notorious district, tending to the vagrant, the vulnerable and the victims of skid row. One night they're beseeched by a Romanian woman who comes in with her son. Her bruises give away a story she's too scared to tell; escaping from traffickers and forced prostitution to try to get her son back. He was kidnapped by his father - who happens to be heir to one of the most influential dynasties on the West Coast. That same night, Knox is called upon for his private health service - cutting out a bullet from a businessman who was cutting himself a shady deal. Impressed by his ability to keep a secret, the impatient patient offers Knox a big tip for some extra work: helping him get revenge on the gangsters who shot him. Knox - and his clinic - need the cash. Playing one team against another, Knox must keep his wits scalpel-sharp. If his diagnosis is on the money, he might be able to trick the gangsters, free the Romanian mother and put the ones at the top in their place for once.

I really did enjoy this one. After knocking out The Nix earlier this year, this book was on my GoodReads TBR the longest. It‘s a thriller involving a doctor working at a skid-row clinic. When a woman & a young boy show up at his clinic, and the woman disappears, it dives Dr. Knox and his friends into a web of greed and high-power. The end got a *little* silly, but I loved the characters, so I didn‘t mind. My #doublebookspin for August. 📷: NYTimes

Very interesting indeed. The plot is intriguing, and substantiated, I didn‘t lack for details. The characters are strong and developed. The dialogue didn‘t feel stunted, but flowed quite nicely. Overall a good read.

I can't remember how I heard of this book, but the cover definitely caught my attention. I've enjoyed the first 35 pages.

Not my usual genre, but this was a good read. I felt like I could see the movie it will be made into. Action, twists, interesting characters.
