with it. Jacob Weizman, a physician, and his wife, Lola, a psychotherapist, are holocaust
survivors and need no proof of evil in this world. Jacob and Lola are unique protagonists.
They're octogenarians who take the fear out of getting old. Their intelligence, competence,
humor, and sense of history make them appealing in a world that too often disdains the aged.
After fifty-five years practicing medicine, Jacob is disappointed, but not surprised by several
patients' deaths, even the unexpected ones. Soon, however, it becomes clear that a killer is
stalking the halls of Brier Hospital targeting Jacob's patients. While Jacob has made enemies
over the years, he finds it inconceivable that anyone would murder his patients for revenge. The
killings mount even as the hospital and police increase security and pursue a vigorous
investigation. Finally, unsatisfied with surrogates, the killer targets Jacob.

Sounds good and looks good. For some reason, the cover really appeals to me. It's nice that the book was written by a doctor. I like when there's an extra sense of realism. Guess this is another one to add to the "to read" list. :P Great review!
