THE DISSECTOR: A Dr. Sarah Whitley Medical School Mystery
Love a good mystery?
Ever wonder about the cadavers used in Medical Schools – where they come from, how they are prepared, what becomes of them?
Ever wonder what really happens behind closed doors in a Medical School Anatomy Department?
Dr. Sarah Whitley is about to find out, You can too. Read “The Dissector”, a story about a newly hired young Anatomist, the dangers she faces, and what she has to do just to survive.
When Dr. Sarah Whitley entered the doors of the medical school, she thought the dream she had worked so hard for had finally come true. She had attained her first position as an Assistant Professor of Anatomy in a prestigious medical school in a uniquely historic city. Instead, what she found was the beginning of a nightmare that would change her life in ways she never imagined.
She had always looked up to the professors who had taught her throughout her education. They were ‘all knowing’; they were ‘never wrong’; and they were well respected professionals – everything she aspired to be. But it didn’t take her long to discover that, like so many of the people she had encountered growing up in foster care, her new faculty colleagues were flawed human beings, driven by greed, ambition, and lust. But they all had one thing in common – fear. Fear of the powerful and ruthless, Dr. Roberts, the Head of the Department of Anatomy.
While all Sarah wanted was to concentrate all her efforts on becoming an effective lecturer and anatomy lab instructor, she inadvertently discovered the secrets hidden behind the closed doors of the offices and research labs of her fellow faculty – from the illicit affair between two scientists, to the sexual predator masquerading under the guise of a well-funded researcher, to the manipulative and double-crossing Department Head.
When compelled by Dr. Roberts to spend more and more time in the morgue, assisting with the embalming and preparation of the cadavers to be used in the medical school Gross Anatomy course, Sarah sees things that she shouldn’t see. But asking questions could be dangerous…
“It’s not often that a solid mystery read comes from a source other than literary circles…Much more than a ‘whodunnit’, The Dissector tells what happens when discoveries are made that go well beyond social or professional indiscretions to the realm of psychopathic behaviors and horrible threats…the story line provides a compelling search that is engrossing, unpredictable, and always fueled by Dr. Whitley’s self debates and choices. All this makes for a standout mystery in the genre…” –D. Donovan, Senior eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
