Have
you ever had one of those days? Days
where not only is nothing going right . . . but where everything is going
wrong, as well? Meet Dr. Matt
Newman. He’s having one of those
days. Unfortunately for him, it just
doesn’t seem to end.
Someone
wants him dead. Someone wants him
framed, convicted, and put away for life on murder charges. Someone else has just booted him out of her
life. Matt just wants to get on with his
life. But even his own body won’t let
him get away with that.
On
the plus side, Matt has a missionary brother who is interceding on his behalf,
and a fiery, red-headed lawyer who chose her faith over the world.
But
with the police convinced he’s a killer and the kidnappers still trying to
finish what they started, finding the truth – and the faith to keep going –
will be the toughest stress test Matt has ever endured.
Dr.
Mabry is one of my favorite physicians . . . I mean authors. Maybe, just maybe . . . I mean both! He has the unique ability to take the world
of medicine – the good, the bad and the ugly – and make it understandable to
the man on the street. Really
understandable. And he doesn’t need
three pages of confusing (sometimes terrifying) medicalese to do so. In STRESS TEST, Dr. Mabry skillfully weaves
together the story of – well, life.
Because life happens, and when it does, it’s not pretty. But underlying Matt’s story is The Story that
explains everything. STRESS TEST is one
that will keep you up nights. You won’t
just want to find out “whodunit,” you’ll want to find out why it all happened
in the first place. And the answers may
very well keep you up for many nights afterward. 5 stars. 312 pages. $15.99.
About Stress Test:
They may not have enough evidence to convict him, but they have enough to ruin his life.
Dr. Matt Newman thought he was leaving his life in private practice for a better one in academic medicine. But the kidnappers who attacked him as he left his last shift in the ER have no such plans-they just want him dead. Bound and in the trunk of his car, Matt's only thought is escape. He does so, but at a price: a head injury that lands him in the ICU . . . where he awakens to discover he's being charged with murder.
Sandra Murray is a fiery, redheaded lawyer who swore she was done with doctors. But when Matt calls, she knows she can't walk away from defending someone who is truly innocent.
Matt's career is going down the drain. His freedom and perhaps his life may be next. But with the police convinced he's a murderer and the kidnappers still trying to finish what they started, finding the truth-and the faith to keep going-will be the toughest stress test Matt has ever endured.
