Early Michael Crichton book. Setting is Boston, late 1960’s, pre-Roe vs. Wade. Doctor accused of performing an illegal abortion of a patient who then died. No spoiler - this is info right in the first few pages - but did he do it? The novel reads like a detective novel and is interesting with all its twists and turns and touches on the bigger picture of the moral issue, in a city with a large Catholic population, whether abortions should or should not be taking place. Classic Crichton. Fast paced and engaging. Solid copy. One page has the word “HA!” written on it and one dog eared page noticed. No tears. Spine intact with moderate creasing on outside of spine. Outer page edges a little discolored from light exposure. Cover shows minimal shelf wear.
