Memphis Living & Dying is an adult thriller that begins when a young doctor learns about the sudden death of his wealthy lawyer father. When he finds that the reported accident may be murder, his life changes. Are the same people who killed his father, coming for him next? A complex web of strong central characters with their own family tragedies fuse into a fast-reading adult novel with complex legal and modern healthcare financing themes blended within a web of dark central intelligence intrigue. Readers find Historic Memphis as the backdrop when separate stories collide to reveal painful life and death struggles that eventually affect us all.
The stories of these characters uncover not commonly-known true financial underworlds of physician-hospital-payor relationships, and the secret deep-pocket international insurance industries that control them. The baseline story provides the author’s comment and insight on these institutions that support and hold much of the ultimate financial risk for America’s current-day healthcare system’s survival.
Mixed with historical and factual details surrounding West Tennessee history, the thriller takes place over 25 years from the mid-1960s to the early 1990s, and coincides with actual world events during these time periods. The stories will take the reader to Atlanta, Washington D.C., Memphis, Nashville, small towns in West Tennessee, and exotic locales in Southeast Asia, The Philippines, South America, and the Republic of China. The author has taken creative license when intertwining actual historical events to help readers perceive the possibilities.
