About this item

"Last Patient of the Night is M*A*S*H* meets Detective Harry Bosch. It's a thriller that won't disappoint." –Gregory D. Lee, author of Stinger: An International Thriller

The death of a nameless young woman in his emergency room spurs physician AJ Docker to seek answers. Together with his policeman friend and a police dog, he sets out on a quest for justice for his lost patient, but he discovers more questions than answers as he delves into the criminal world.

Last Patient of the Night is an action packed thriller interspersed with lighthearted stories from the emergency room, featuring a cast of interesting characters.

Gary Gerlacher’s experience as an emergency physician lends authenticity to the ER culture. His debut novel is the first in the AJ Docker series, and will leave you turning pages late into the night.

    Plus, bitcoin explained in a way that makes sense.

    Often amusing, even though everyone seems a little too casual about handling guns.

    This was my first book with this author. Firstly, I enjoyed the character development. Doc's personality embodied the right amount of arrogance, humility, humanity, humor and insight.
    This was not a predictable plot and the suspense kept me intrigued enough that I couldn't stop reading.
    By the time the story was over, I had a good image of all of the characters.
    If I had to say anything negative, the plot involved some Ukrainian criminals. It kind of eluded that all Ukrainians were big and dumb. I overlooked the slight because the Ukrainians in the story probably were.

    Really good light private citizen detective reading. Dramatic thriller with underpinning ER, criminal world and Bitcoin threads that add to the plot.

    3.0 out of 5 stars This is not a serious book.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2024
    The book makes you laugh. The main character, Doc, is not very realistic but is funny. He a lot were legal violations. IT is funny. So if yout are looking for that is supposed to be serious but is light hearted the this book will do the trick.
