New Medical Thriller by John Benedict,, FATAL COMPLICATIONS, is Released

The Story...

When a colleague's patient suffers a bizarre reaction in the operating room, Luke Daulton, a newly minted anesthesiologist, volunteers to help. Despite the surgical team's best efforts, the patient succumbs to a rare anesthetic complication. Luke becomes perplexed, even suspicious, over their inability to save the woman. Is it possible that the diagnosis was wrong? Or, worse yet, was the diagnosis faked? Luke even wonders if his boss Dr. Katz is involved.

Too busy with the rigors of a new job and his impending fatherhood, Luke is forced to put his suspicions on hold. When his wife, Kim, faces a C-section, his fears are reignited. Could there be a murderer-or murderers-operating in his hospital? Could his wife's obstetrician be involved? When the C-section goes horribly wrong, Luke must launch into action to save his wife and baby and expose the conspiracy he's uncovered.

Praise for Fatal Complications:

"When anesthesiologist Luke Daulton becomes the newest member of the hospital staff, he is quickly confronted with a series of bizarre anesthetic deaths and a conspiracy that just might cost him his life, as well as those of his wife and unborn child. Fatal Complications is a medical thriller that will keep you up late into the night."
-DP Lyle, award-winning author of the Dub Walker, Samantha Cody, and Jake Longly Thriller Series

"With Fatal Complications, a taut medical thriller that is equal parts King and Koontz, John Benedict delivers a devastating tale of infidelity, deception, and bad intentions, proving nothing paints a soul darker than desire, and trying to outrun the past is always the fastest way to fall."
-Joe Clifford, author of Junkie Love and Lamentation
