The Physician

At the peak of his medical career in St. Martins, Dr. Michael Lankford decided to leave his partner and life-long friend Case McPhail and move to Crosgrove with his wife Jill, to be near their daughter Anna and her husband. There he found the perfect location to set up a practice and begin a journey that would demand every ounce of strength and courage he could muster. The town of Crosgrove welcomed this tall, dark, handsome doctor with open arms, not realizing they were looking at a hero. Michael set forth a plan to become more involved in the well being of his patients. He developed an uncanny ability to read a person quickly and this aided him in the diagnosis of his patients. But it also gave him information that forced him to make decisions he never bargained for. He befriended an old man who was one of his patients, and together they attempted to solve a case that had grown cold and was gathering dust in the local police files. The heartache of one mother who'd lost her child drove Michael to do things he never dreamed he was capable of doing. He found out that truth could set a man free or cause him to squirm, depending on what he was hiding. The events that followed caused Michael and Jill to question their decision to make such a dramatic change in their lives, for the losses they incurred once they moved to Crosgrove tested the boundaries of their marriage and their lives. A tale of courage and an obsession for the truth, this story pushes caution out the window and keeps you on the edge of your seat. But the book will remain with you until you've read the last word.
