Willowgate Press Title: Surgical Risk Author: Robert I. Kat Publication Date: September 1, 2002 Distributors: Biblio Distribution, Ingram, Baker and Taylor Size: 8.5" by 5.5", 240 pages Price: $12.95 Category: Mystery/Fiction Richard Kurtz is a surgeon, a good surgeon, if he does say so himself (which he does, despite the old joke about how if you ask a surgeon to name the three best surgeons in the world, he'll have trouble thinking of the other two). He has a luxury apartment on the East Side, a good-looking girlfriend and a busy practice. Kurtz should be happy, and he is, sort of, most of the time...despite a few vague, simmering regrets that the tries to ignore. One of those regrets is Sharon Lee. For three months one summer, Sharon Lee and Richard Kurtz had thought themselves in love...until it ended. "It was nobody's fault," Kurtz had said at the time. "She's too good for me." Since nobody wanted to ask him what he meant by this, the comment tended to forestall further conversation, which was just what Kurtz intended. What he meant, in fact, was that Sharon Lee was nuts--beautiful but crazy. But when Sharon Lee's dead body is found strangled in a hospital call room, Kurtz cannot resist getting involved, and soon finds himself embroiled in a twisted tale of murder, betrayal and brutal revenge. Praise for Surgical Risk: "...pulls no punches...Katz's first novel, Edward Maret, was a recent Booksense Science Fiction and Fantasy Rediscoveries recommend."
