When a financial crisis threatens to sink New Canterbury Medical Center, and possibly the university attached to it, Jack Forester, former emergency doctor and current dean of the medical center, is desperate to salvage the situation. But Jack has a lot on his hands. Three years after losing his wife, Zellie, in a tragic car accident, Jack is still grieving and struggling to balance his role at the medical center with raising his five-year-old daughter, Julia, and his niece, Kaitlyn, who painfully reminds him of his wife. Things turn bizarre following a fatal car crash, a failed attempt to rescue the university, a murder in the hospital, and the kidnapping of Jack’s niece. The chaos unfolding is not accidental; there is foul play afoot. Jack Forester is up against an enemy from the past, one teaming up with the most powerful and dangerous villains he’s ever encountered in Doctor Witch by Frank J. Edwards.

Doctor Witch explores grief, guilt, and family dilemmas. It also shows how technology, particularly AI, can be both a tool for healing and a weapon for harm. While Damien Falconi uses it to treat diseases, the villains employ it to manipulate and wield havoc. From the scheming conspirators aboard Wiegatesland to the pandemonium unfolding in the medical center and the fragile relationship between Jack and his niece, Kaitlyn, the atmosphere is tense and uneasy. Despite everything Jack went through, I am taken aback by how he managed to trust strangers easily and remain open to them. Doctor Witch by Frank J. Edwards is for anyone who enjoys intense medical thrillers.

His investigations lead him into the lair of a cybercriminal and a twisted serial killer with a devious motive for wanting the medical center to cease its operations. Simultaneously, he becomes the guardian of his niece, a young girl who comes from a dysfunctional family setting. When Jack's nemesis begins targeting the people close to him, it's up to him to confront this evil head-on. Hopefully, he lives to tell the tale when all's said and done.
