具体描述

When a patient in New York s

Westside General Hospital is found

dead in bed -- poisoned -- the

night before his scheduled dis-

charge, Bert Swain is called upon

to track down the killer. Bert, P.R.

director of the research center con-

nected with the hospital, has won

his spurs as an amateur sleuth by

bringing the guilty to justice in

Protocol for Murder.

The new case turns out to have

roots going back more than thirty

years . . . to the early childhood of

the poison victim. Bert learns that

he had accused the grownups in a

day-care center of sexually abusing

him and the other preschoolers.

Brought to trial, the mother and

son and young woman helping

them were found guilty and sen-

tenced to prison terms -- their

lives ruined.

Before Bert figures out how past

and present interlock and assembles

all the pieces of the puzzle, his own

life and the lives of Paula, his

daughter, and lover Eve have been

placed at risk.

At the end of his second test as a

detective Bert swears "Never

again!" Wrong: a third adventure

lies just ahead.
