I knew I would enjoy this book from page 1. It's fast-moving, muscular, and funny. I won't get into summary, here, beyond the fact that it's about a doctor with an unusual past and skillset in a crappy hospital in New York, and the things that happen to him over the course of one day, and the ways he deals with them, will have you grinning with glee.

If you're a fan of thrillers, read it. Even if, like me, you usually can't stand thrillers because of crappy writing. This writing isn't crappy. It's the best kind of writing for a thriller: it stays out of the way of the story.

Now: READ IT!

Grazie a Peter Brown, ex killer entrato in un programma di protezione governativo, la mafia fa il suo ingresso tra le corsie di un famigerato ospedale di Manhattan. Quando Peter va come ogni mattina al lavoro in ospedale, non sa che la Grande Mietitrice lo aspetta, sotto le vesti di un paziente moribondo che è un suo vecchio conoscente di mafia. Se il paziente muore, il passato di Peter tornerà a galla. E questo non può accadere. Perché Peter è anche Pietro Brwna detto Orso, ex affiliato (ma per bontà d'animo) alla famiglia Locano. In questi anni in ospedale Peter è diventato il medico-eroe che abbiamo sempre sognato: cinico iconoclasta dal cuore d'oro che infrange ogni regola pur di salvare una vita... La sua lotta all'ultimo sangue con la Grande Mietitrice sta per cominciare, e diventa tutt'uno col desiderio irresistibile di saldare una volta per tutte i conti con la famiglia Locano.… (mais)
