Vacant Eyes
Author: Sidney Spies
 
The incurable come to Collier Hospital to die in peace.
The straight path of Dr Karen Formaker, an ambitious young endrocrinologist, is forever bent when tragedy calls her to the emergency room. There, her own sister, a prominent physician, lies flat-line and beyond all hope of recovery.
Now something has turned her sister's husband, chief of medicine at Collier, into a ghost of his former self. Something more powerful than grief is affecting his mind . . . something more sinister than drugs.
With nowhere else to turn, Karen seeks the help og her brilliant mentor, the Nobel Laureate Arnold Berkholt. Their work on a vital brain hormone may help roll back the ravages of Alzheimer's disease. But somewhere in the hospital, a renegade is crossing the border of medical ethics - sentencing innocent victims to a living death of irreversible dementia. And as the hideous toll mounts, it's up to Karen alone to stop the terror that ends with . . . VACANT EYES
