Short excerpt
from The Case of the Desperate Doctor:
“I think I might have killed her.”
It takes a lot to stop a forkful of food from reaching my mouth. Around
me, the noise of the hospital cafeteria faded and, with a bite of chicken
poised in midair, I focused on the rangy, dark-haired man seated across the
table.
Like me, Dr. Jeremiah Schwartz was an obstetrician-gynecologist. Unlike
me, he was a card-carrying weirdo and, for me personally, a decades-long
annoyance who imitated me at every step. Among recent developments, he’d bought
a car identical to mine, leased an office near mine in the medical building
next to the hospital, and taken it upon himself to join me for lunch whenever
possible. His unpredictable comments ranged from intriguing to, as had just
occurred, bizarre.
There was little doubt who “she” referred to. On this Tuesday afternoon,
the staff was abuzz with word that Dr. Alison Abrams had been found dead in her
bathtub the previous day, and with speculation as to whether her death had been
an accident or suicide. The police were, as usual, keeping a lid on the
investigation.
An ob-gyn with admitting privileges here at Safe Harbor Medical Center,
Alison had maintained a private office in nearby Newport Beach. Until about a
year and a half earlier, Jeremiah had worked with her and another doctor. Other
than that, I wasn’t aware of any connection between them.
As I mulled his statement, my fork resumed its journey to my mouth. The
absence of others at our table was fortunate. They might have overreacted, or
else considered this a bad joke. Jeremiah never joked.
