Dr. Jack Culver is the medical director of a rehabilitation unit in a small town hospital in southern Illinois. After six rehabilitation inpatients die in one quarter, he becomes convinced that a serial killer is loose in the hospital. He and Rickie Davis, a rehabilitation nurse, are the only ones who believe the deaths were murders. In an attempt to convince the hospital that a serial killer exists and must be stopped, Culver risks his reputation, financial stability, and even his health. The book follows Culver through a startling series of events in which he bravely loses most of what he holds dear in life, and even faces his own death in uncovering a serial-killer conspiracy. Follow the hero and see what happens when he sticks to his beliefs in the face of overwhelming criticism and personal loss. The story accelerates into a surprise and bloody ending. Readers will enjoy the author's refreshingly different approach to medical mystery writing, and will find the book educational, spine tingling, inspiring, difficult to put down, and a must read.

This book is a plain spoken series of vignettes based on the author’s memories of growing up in the hills and coal mining towns of the far western part of Virginia in the 1940’s. It includes his intensely personal recollections of the great Appalachian migration to the big cities of the Northern Midwest in the 1950’s. Additional vignettes of his experiences later in life are included to demonstrate the enduring nature of the influence of his Appalachian upbringing. History buffs will enjoy the verbal snapshots of the schools, churches, and everyday life in the post-war Appalachian backwoods. Others will find these “Echoes” inspirational, as they have an unintentional but definite “Horatio Alger, Jr.” like quality; and depict the author’s personal journey from boyhood in an Appalachian ”hollar” to being a physician who has been named one of the “Best Doctors” in America.
