Dr. Knox: A novel

â€œPeter Spiegelmanâ€™sÂ Dr. KnoxÂ 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 â€˜eucalyptus and dust,â€™ it is both thrilling and rueful, harrowing and moving. DON'T MISS ITâ€
â€”Megan Abbott,Â award-winning author ofÂ The FeverÂ

From the author of Red Cat and Thick as Thieves: 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.

Adam Knox comes from a long line of patrician Connecticut doctorsâ€”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 Angelesâ€™s Skid Row, making ends meet by making house callsâ€”cash only, no questions askedâ€”on those too famous or too criminal to seek other medical care.

When a young boy is abandoned at his clinic, Knox is determined to find the boyâ€™s family and save him from the not-so-tender mercies of the child welfare bureaucracy. But Knoxâ€™s search for the volatile woman who may or may not be the boyâ€™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 everythingâ€”and everyoneâ€”he holds dear.
