    "description": "<p><strong>&ldquo;Peter Spiegelman&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>Dr. Knox</em>&nbsp;is a bruised wonder of a crime novel. Filled with page-turning intrigue and an L.A. atmosphere so richly rendered you can practically smell the &lsquo;eucalyptus and dust,&rsquo; it is both thrilling and rueful, harrowing and moving. DON'T MISS IT&rdquo;</strong><br />&mdash;<strong>Megan Abbott</strong>,&nbsp;award-winning author of&nbsp;<em>The Fever</em>&nbsp;<em><br /></em><br />From the author of <em>Red Cat</em> and <em>Thick as Thieves:</em> a gripping new thriller about a medical doctor with a powerful humanitarian impulse, an unhealthy appetite for risk, and a knack for finding himself between a rock and a hard place. <br /><br />Adam Knox comes from a long line of patrician Connecticut doctors&mdash;a line he broke to serve with an NGO in the war-torn Central African Republic. His attempt to protect his patients there from a brutal militia ended in disaster and disgrace, and now he runs a clinic near Los Angeles&rsquo;s Skid Row, making ends meet by making house calls&mdash;cash only, no questions asked&mdash;on those too famous or too criminal to seek other medical care. <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />When a young boy is abandoned at his clinic, Knox is determined to find the boy&rsquo;s family and save him from the not-so-tender mercies of the child welfare bureaucracy. But Knox&rsquo;s search for the volatile woman who may or may not be the boy&rsquo;s mother leads him and his friend, a former Special Forces operator, into a labyrinth of human traffickers, Russian mobsters, and corporate security thugs; and squarely into the sights of a powerful, secretive, and utterly ruthless family that threatens to destroy Dr. Knox and everything&mdash;and everyone&mdash;he holds dear.</p>",
