FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thriller Explores Biggest Medical Nightmare:
Deadly Patient-Care Errors
"A thriller that only
a doctor could have written. Wyler's sense of the worlds of the hospital and
operating room are unsurpassed. You'll feel as if you are right there."
--Michael Palmer, New York Times
bestselling author of Miracle Cure and The Sisterhood
“Deadly Errors is a
wild and satisfying ride! This is an ‘up all night’ pass into troubled places
that only hard-working doctors know about, a turbulent world of trusting
patients and imperfect humans struggling with the required image of
perfection.”
--John J. Nance, author of Pandora’s Clock
and Fire Flight
A comatose man is given a fatal dose of insulin
in the emergency room, even though he isn't diabetic. An ulcer patient
dies of shock after receiving a transfusion of the wrong blood type. A
recovering heart patient receives a double dose of medication and suffers a
fatal heart attack.
Brain surgeon Dr. Tyler Matthews suspects that
something is seriously wrong with the hospital’s new Med-InDx computerized
medical record system. But he doesn’t suspect that there’s something
murderously wrong with it.
As Matthews begins to peel back the layers of
deception that cover the deadly errors, he crosses powerful corporate interests
who aren’t about to let their multi-billion dollar medical record profits
evaporate. Now a target, Matthews finds himself trapped in a maze of deadly
conspiracy, with his career, his marriage, and his very life on the line.
Once again, Wyler blends his unparalleled
expertise as a world-class surgeon with his uncanny knack for suspense to
create a true best-of-breed medical thriller. Deadly Errors is a
lightning-quick action procedural that is destined to win new fans to the
medical thriller genre.

Allen Wyler is a renowned
neurosurgeon who earned an international reputation for pioneering surgical
techniques to record brain activity. He has served on the faculties of
both the University of Washington and the University of Tennessee, and in 1992

neuroscience institute.
In 2002, he left active practice to

thrillers Deadly Errors (2005) and Dead Head (2007), he
officially retired from medicine to devote himself to writing full time.
