Do Not Resuscitate - by Scott Eveloff (Paperback)

About the Book

When his patient unexpectedly dies, medical intern Harry Lindmark's attempt to clear his name uncovers an unimaginable conspiracy-vengeful souls are using resuscitated patients' bodies to steal back into the world of the living.

Book Synopsis

"Do Not Resuscitate - An inventive combination of high-stakes hospital drama mixed with supernatural horror, fueled by a terrifying villain from beyond the grave who turns a medical intern's life upside down with his nefarious plan to get revenge for his own death." -Erik Bork, author, screenwriter on HBO's Band of Brothers and From the Earth to the Moon

When medical intern Harry Lindmark's patient gruesomely dies, he fears an Angel of Death is loose in his hospital. Soon, however, Harry falls under suspicion when unexpected deaths mount. His desperate investigation to clear his name reveals a nightmarish conspiracy-hungering souls of those long-dead are killing his patients, led by the vengeful soul of former physician Sylvester Morrow, as heartless in death as he was in life. Their motive is as unimaginable as it is grotesque-they are seeking escape from a painful afterlife limbo by claiming bodies left vacant at the moment of death only to be restored to life through modern medical resuscitation.

Burdened with his infant's death and a wife grieving alone due to his long hours, Harry must now confront a more urgent challenge. How can he overcome entities that have already escaped the limits of life itself? The dead have their own plans for the living they envy, leaving Harry in desperate pursuit of some solution to save all those he cares about.

In today's hospitals, instruments of healing can so easily be turned into instruments of death. With a belief in worlds existing beyond, Do Not Resuscitate becomes uncomfortably possible.
