Brief Summary:

         Bruce Wilkinson dies in the Boston Memorial Hospital after a cardiac surgery. Cassandra Kingsley, a psychiatrist and her friend Robert Seibert who works in pathology, suspects this as a murder and begins to pursue the mystery. Robert is killed after they find out the presence of Sodium Fluoride in the IV bottle and Cassandra escapes narrowly from the two attempts on her.

        Finally the villain is turned out to be Thomas Kingsley, Cassandra's husband and the major cardiac surgeon in the hospital. He is addicted to the thrill of performing delicate operations and killed the victims (there were 18 of them) to make free the beds for other patients. Thomas dies in the final struggle.
