"A medical thriller with punch"
Badly beaten, the interracial couple is taken to the
emergency room of Dawkins County Hospital for treatment by
Dr. Rhea Lynch. However, more than the vicious thrashing
from the hate peddlers, Rhea sees strange signs of a
pulmonary infection in first the woman and then her mate.
Even more shocking to the ER doctor, who thought she had
seen it all here in the graveyard shift of this hospital,
the twosome quickly dies from whatever attacked their
internal organs. Not long afterward more victims arrive and die at
alarming speed. Rhea tries to uncover what happened so
that she can provide proper medical care to the suffering
and end the growing epidemic. However, she soon finds
herself caught in the midst of a hate group, religious
fanatics, and the military in what looks like a terrorist
germ warfare attack that has turned this South Carolina
county into a graveyard. PRESCRIBED DANGER is an exciting medical thriller that
will keep the audience on the edge of their seat throughout
the reading and send fans seeking Rhea's previous
appearance (see DELAYED DIAGNOSIS) right afterward. The
story line is loaded with action and filled with twists and
turn as Rhea plays Gary Cooper in High Noon while the
villains are powerful organizational entities rather than
western outlaws. The "conspiracy" is a bit thin, but Rhea
is a delightful character who makes the Gwen Hunter's tale
work. Harriet Klausner
