A stitch in time.
1968 • 185 pages

The insurance company called it suicide. But an autopsy found seven hemostatic clips had been sewn up inside the patient before he died. Then suddenly, unnatural death struck again at Southport Memorial Hospital. Someone was prescribing murder as the antidote to scandal. Thatcher operated fast to get at the cause of the outbreak but discovered that in crime - unlike medicine - some old saws cut as true as a sharp scalpel.
