CLC Book Review:
InThe Covid Murders, the second installment of The Irv Tinsley Health Policy Detective Series, Greg Vigdor crafts a suspenseful storyline packed with medical conspiracies, riveting murder mysteries, policy issues, and an underhanded political attempt to control America.
When medical detective Irv Tinsley receives a call for help from Jason Stroud who is serving as the new acting CEO of a hospital in Nashville, Irv’s dedication to truth leads him to help Jason. Irv is intrigued by the case involving the death of Thomas Baker, a local bigwig who had died unexpectedly while being operated upon. At first, all Irv has to help him uncover details regarding the mysterious death are the lyrics of songs played during the operation. As he studies them, he discovers a pattern of deaths in the hospital. Stakes rise as he gets closer to the truth and other parties get involved.
One mystery leads to another in Vigdor’s spellbinding novel. Irv’s discovery could have an impact on the plans of different people in the story including a man hell-bent on revenge and an authoritarian political group who plan to control American healthcare and, ultimately, the American government. As more shocking revelations emerge, suspense-filled scenes follow. The political syndicate becomes involved with Thomas Baker’s death, hoping to use it to further their interest.
