When the head of San Francisco's largest HMO dies in his own hospital, no one doubts that it is anything but the result of massive injuries inflicted by a random hit-and-run accident. But the autopsy soon tells a different story - an overdose of potassium killed him, and the attending physician, Eric Kensing, becomes the prime suspect in a high-profile homicide. Homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky, though hindered by the inept bunglings of two politically appointed cops assigned to the investigation, quickly sets his sights on Kensing. Desperate and in need of an attorney, Kensing turns to lawyer Dismas Hardy for his defense. But as the pressure mounts to indict Kensing, Hardy goes on the offensive, believing that the murder had little to do with his client, and everything to do with business. Hardy knows that all is not well with the HMO, and makes a terrifying discovery too many patients have been dying, many of them victims of murder - and it looks like it is the hospital that is killing them. His own marriage tested and his family strained as he struggles to save his client, Hardy must uncover a twisting conspiracy of avarice and violence that takes the lives it is sworn to save. A timely and gripping novel that puts lives - and a long-standing friendship - at grave risk.
The Oath A Dismas Hardy Novel (Audible Audio Edition) John Lescroart Robert Lawrence Brilliance Audio Books
John Lescroart's Dismas Hardy novels are among the most entertaining and well written of the lawyer-cop-mystery genre. The gang's all here in this story which does a number on the HMO industry and their ability or lack thereof to take proper care of the enrollees. The head of the HMO has been hit by a hit and run driver and brought, unfortunately for him, to the hospital which his HMO manages. While in the ICU, he succumbs to his injuries...or does he? ... An obvious suspect is being investigated, Dismas is representing him and it looks as though an arrest may be imminent. However, as the investigation proceeds, many stories within stories are discovered, not the least of which is that someone is murdering people in the ICU. This story, regretably never gets inside a courtroom, but the resolution and Dismas Hardy's involvement in it, nevertheless still makes this a compelling and interesting read.Product details

The Oath A Dismas Hardy Novel (Audible Audio Edition) John Lescroart Robert Lawrence Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
Lescroart never disappoints
Like all J L books especially those with Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitsky and this won didn't disappoint. I actually used the audio book feature for the first time on this book. IT was a different experience but seemed a little slow reading for my regular reading speed but didn't affect my appreciation of Lescroart's form.
Of the many books I have read this was definetly a good one. John Lescroart has joined my list of favorite authors. In this book, Glistky and Hardy return when they find out a corporate CEO has been killed. But why?
The story develops when the autopsy reveals overdose of Potassium and besides that other patients have been dying quite too often.
The deals with the problems that big companies deal with in regards to costs, hmo, and everything. The surprises come throughtout the whole book, and we don't really find out who killed the CEO and why until the very end of the of the book.
Great book!!
For fans of Lescroart, and Dismas Hardy, a good read the never disappoints, and keeps you guessing to the end! A good read.
Lescroart's writings and his recurring characters are addictive. Once the reader becomes immersed, it is as if each novel is a chapter in an epic. This novel, unlike many of his works, has no courtroom scenes, but the plot is rich in imaginative and interesting details related to the medical and pharmaceutical fields. What makes it especially good is that Lescroart keeps the reader guessing until the last page.
The book starts with a hit and run. We never really get back to this accident until the very end of the book. Then we set up an innocent guy to look guilty, and move to a guilty guy who didn't do the crime they are after him for.
This book has 2 parts. The first two thirds of the book is spent in pursuit of red herrings, and the last third is a disjointed alliance between Abe Glitzy and Dismas Hardy.
The hit and run is a rnadom event that opens up a spectrum of investigation that would never have happened. I have problems with the true bad guy. I'm not sure anyone is that stupid.
I don't remember how many of the Dismas Hardy series (not to be confused with the Hardy Boys!!) I have read or listened to, but I enjoyed them all, and to me, this most recent one is his best. Even if I guessed the denouement, as I did fairly early on, it made no difference to my enjoyment of this book. It's a real story that unfolds with passage of time and meaningful descriptions that involved me deeper and deeper into the tale. Certain events, that can't be disclosed here, tested my emotions.
The reader is excellent as well, so important in audio versions. He 'is' Dismas Hardy - just the voice one would expect from him if he were real.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and look forward to the next one. I only regret that there are no audio vesrions of some of Lescroart's earlier books (not that I don't read - it's just that these are excellent listens in the car!).
