- The quiet boy / by Winters, Ben H.,author.;
From the "inventive ... entertaining and thought-provoking" (Charles Yu) New York Times-bestselling author of Underground Airlines and Golden State, this sweeping legal thriller follows a sixteen-year-old who suffers from a neurological condition that has frozen him in time--and the team of lawyers, doctors, and detectives who are desperate to wake him up. In 2008, a cheerful ambulance-chasing lawyer named Jay Shenk persuades the grieving Keener family to sue a private LA hospital. Their son Wesley has been transformed by a routine surgery into a kind of golem, absent all normal functioning or personality, walking in endless empty circles around his hospital room. In 2019, Shenk, still in practice but a shell of his former self, is hired to defend Wesley Keener's father when he is charged with murder ... the murder, as it turns out, of the expert witness from the 2008 hospital case. Shenk's adopted son, a fragile teenager in 2008, is a wayward adult, though he may find his purpose when he investigates what really happened to the murdered witness. Two thrilling trials braid together, medical malpractice and murder, jostling us back and forth in time. The Quiet Boy is a book full of mysteries, not only about the death of a brilliant scientist, not only about the outcome of the medical malpractice suit, but about the relationship between children and their parents, between the past and the present, between truth and lies. At the center of it all is Wesley Keener, endlessly walking, staring empty-eyed, in whose quiet, hollow body may lie the fate of humankind.- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Legal fiction (Literature); Trials (Malpractice); Trials (Murder); Teenage boys; Nervous system; Physicians; Lawyers; Murder;

- Bitter pill / by Michaels, Fern,author.;
For the Sisterhood, there's a special satisfaction that comes with helping a friend in need, especially when it's someone as dear as Charlotte Hansen. Myra Rutledge's childhood friend has spent tens of thousands of dollars on remedies to boost longevity. But far from improving her health, the medications seem to be destroying it. Myra becomes suspicious of the trio of doctors in charge of the program, especially once the Sisterhood's investigations reveal that one patient has died, and another lapsed into a coma. While those in their care suffer, the three doctors - located in London, Aspen, and New York - all enjoy indulgent lifestyles and extravagant toys. But justice is always the best medicine - and no one dispenses it better than the Sisterhood.- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Female friendship; Vigilantes; Physicians; Murder; Man-woman relationships;
