PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

Young, blonde, handsome Dr. Michael Swango seemed a godsend wherever he was hired to practice medicine. But acclaim would turn to disbelief, dismay, then horror, as the evidence mounted that he could be murdering his patients. Then, Dr. Swango would leave that hospital - only to be rehired at another. With prodigious investigative reporting, James Stewart takes listeners into the closed world of America's medical establishment, where doctors repeatedly accept the word of fellow physicians over that of nurses, hospital workers, and patients - even after the horrible truth emerges. His mesmerizing account moves from the hospital rooms of the prestigious Ohio State University Hospitals to Illinois, South Dakota, New York, and finally to a remote missionary hospital in Zimbabwe where Stewart tracked down survivors, relatives of victims, shaken hospital workers - and evidence that may finally lead Swango to be charged with murder. Stewart brings to riveting life the story of a psychopathic physician whom the FBI believes may be the most prolific serial killer in American history.
