Publisher Description

When Mary Bedford dies in the hospital ICU, her family sues her doctor and the hospital almost before her corpse is delivered to the morgue. How did the family's lawyer find out about the death so soon and create litigation before ever subpoenaing the medical record in a legal manner? Something foul is going on. But what?

Harry and Judy are recruited, first by the malpractice insurance firm of Crasse, Basse and Jones, and later by the FBI, to investigate an increasing tide of frivolous lawsuits against doctors and hospitals. It's a scam of national and international proportions with organized crime (the Russians?) pulling the strings.

Corrupt lawyers and judges across the Country are working together to make sure that billions of dollars end up in their bank accounts. Anyone getting in the way of this crooked boondoggle is subject to violent threats and actions. Bodies show up on the shores of the Great Lakes with their feet missing; while on other shores shoes are washing up with the feet still inside. Is this the Mob's way of meting out punishment?

Do such things really happen? Do some unscrupulous medical malpractice attorneys secretly pay hospital nurses to report patient incidents that could lead to profitable lawsuits? How else to explain these facts: doctors and hospitals are being besieged by dishonest lawsuits, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and ruined reputations. Patients are being exploited. What's to be done?

When the FBI deputizes Harry to investigate, all becomes clear—but not before some dangerous adventures befall our favorite detectives. Our creative and sometimes hilarious gumshoes have their own brushes with violence, but survive to overcome and gather the evidence needed to finally bust up the scheme.

By the way, long time fans of Harry Grouch and Judy Pacas have wondered if this detective duo would ever seal their romantic relationship with matrimony. Now it can be told.
