As a physician-owned hospital prospers from its medical excellence, its owners are corrupting the business and killing each other in their struggle for control. Their corrupt successes evoke a prescription for murders masked as suicides in order to evade detection by law enforcement officials and its patients. However, they self-destruct in their own criminal activities. Greed can become a terminal illness. Justice, in whatever form it takes, is the appropriate cure.
Once again, attorney Harry Conden uses the Probate Court forum to find a quietly unique form of justice for his clients and preserves the hospital and its doctors with their good names and medical excellence for the community they serve so well.
After 60 years of a very successful wide-ranging private law practice, complemented by his equally successful business ventures, the author has drawn on those experiences to create a new career as an author. Many of the characters and situations in his series of Probate Court-based murder mysteries are real, but changed to protect the privacy of the people involved. Thus, they are fiction dramatized to make them more entertaining.
This new book, "Rx For Suicide Murders," reveals the inherent and latent risks for fraud in our healthcare delivery system. In this book, as in his other books, the Probate Court is the forum used to help find justice in the real world outside the courthouse. In the process he shines a favorable light on the legal profession that makes the system work.
