Autorenporträt
The author's primary career was an academic physician in the Department of Veteran Affairs and at several medical schools in the South and Mid-Atlantic. During that thirty-year career he published more than 50 scientific articles, edited journal issues, and authored two books and several chapters for other books on health care quality and improvement.

He retired from the VA in 2000 to become director of health services administration at the Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences and professor of public health. At USUHS he taught in the Masters of Public Health program and initiated a Masters of Healthcare Administration and Policy degree program. He retired in 2012.

Since formal retirement, he has written four novels (this is his fifth.) Each of the novels is set in a fictional hospital and portrays common personnel and management issues that affect health care quality with attention given to a method to address those issues and improve quality of care. These issues are arrayed as part of the overall response to murder while also providing insight to police procedure and approach to a puzzling circumstance.
