Premedicated Murder
by Elaine Crovitz, Ph.D.

Cheryl Cameron is a psychologist with a rewarding professional life. She and her boyfriend, Gene Gray, a medical colleague, struggle to reconcile differences in their relationship but are pulled apart by the death of John Mangum, a suicidal patient. The death may not have been a suicide. The patient's sister and brother-in-law are accused of murdering the psychiatrist who treated John, while the real murderer nearly gets away with the deed. Cheryl comes to the couple's aid and meets with unanticipated hostility in the community. Joining forces with a skeptical police investigator, Walt Holmes, their lives converge in a sequence of suspenseful events. In this novel of malice, murder and managed care, Elaine Crovitz portrays sinister aspects of today's health care world. The setting, Princeville, so ordinary, makes even more chilling the betrayal of health professionals' oath to do no harm.
