Charlatans is an exhilarating thriller penned by the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author and master of the medical thriller genre, Robin Cook.

At Boston Memorial Hospital, Noah Rothauser assumes the prestigious role of the new super chief resident. The hospital boasts state-of-the-art medical facilities, a dream come true for Noah, who has always aspired to work at such an esteemed institution. However, the weight of the responsibilities that come with the position becomes increasingly apparent as he witnesses the tragic death of an otherwise healthy man during a seemingly routine operation.

With potential malpractice suspected, the newly appointed surgical doctor, Dr. William Mason, takes charge of investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. As he delves deeper into the matter, he uncovers bitter feuds within the hospital's surgical staff. Dr. Mason, the egotistical world-class surgeon who performed the operation, quickly points the finger at staff anaesthetist Dr. Ava London, blaming her for the disastrous outcome.

However, Dr. London, along with the nursing staff, raises suspicions by shifting the blame toward the surgeon. When two more anesthesia-related deaths occur, Noah is compelled to take a closer look at the enigmatic Dr. London. He quickly realizes that there is much more to her than meets the eye. With his own job and integrity on the line, Noah must make a difficult decision: determine which doctor is at fault and whom he can trust.

Time is running out, and lives are at stake. Noah must navigate the treacherous waters of the hospital's medical politics and uncover the truth before any more lives are lost. Charlatans is a gripping tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, as they unravel the intricate web of lies and deceit that threatens to destroy the lives of those involved.
