Mortal Fear

Robin Cook's

The Author of "Coma" presents a prescription for murder... and no one is immune!

This tightly crafted medical thriller, based on the provocative international bestseller by Robin Cook, is set in a large urban hospital, where suddenly, with no warning, healthy patients are mysteriously dying. Dr. Jennifer Kessler (Joanna Kerns) is driven to discover what is behind this string of deaths: Is it a new disease? Hospital malpractice? Or is it something - or someone - far more terrifying and evil? Jennifer's investigation takes her from the secretive corridors of a high-tech research lab to the gaudy stage of a seedy strip club, and she uncovers a deadly maze of greed, corruption, fear and controversial futuristic medicine. Aided by an ambitious hospital administrator (Gregory Harrison), and hindered by an arrogant fellow physician Ralph Wannamaker (Robert Englund), Jennifer races against the clock to solve the fatal puzzle before another death occurs. It she cannot find the crazed fiend who is playing God with people's lives, she will be his next victim.
