About A Fatal Debt
Ben Cowper, an attending psychiatrist at the prestigious New York–Episcopal Hospital, is stunned to learn the identity of his latest emergency patient: Harry Shapiro, a Wall Street colossus and one of Episcopals most prominent donors. But a reversal of fortune has left the once powerful investment banker jobless, bitter, and possibly desperate—judging by the gun his wife finds him clutching. In Bens expert opinion, Shapiro is a suicide waiting to happen. But when the headstrong financier balks at an extended stay in the psych ward, Ben reluctantly releases him, bowing to political pressure from Episcopals chief administrator. Days later, the shocking news breaks: theres been a murder in Shapiros Hamptons mansion. But even more shocking is the identity of the victim. A tragedy sets in motion an explosive chain of events that turns Ben Cowpers life upside down—and puts his career on the line.
