This is a debut book by Carnoy and I thought it was a compelling, albeit, zuzu book. A doctor treats a young girl in the emergency room after she is injured in a car accident. Months later, she commits suicide, and he is implicated in her death and accused of having had sex with her. What the author does so well is get the dialogue right, be it fraternity boys, computer hackers, doctors, teenagers with their self-absorption and angst, detectives....The story also moves right along as the doctor insists he is innocent and hires a lawyer, a woman he has known intimately in the past. The detective on the case also has a past that could be relevant as he works on this case...So read it and find out what happens if you need a book now and then with little redeeming value but is a well-written contemporary tale. There were a few details that strained credibility but mostly it all seemed possible.
Knife Music, BTW, is the music the doctor listens to while operating.
