First, Do No Harm
Description
The past comes rearing up to bite the next generation when a son digs too deep into his family's past. Martin Firestone can't figure why his father, the eccentric painter Leo Firestone, is throwing a fit. All Martin did was tell his dad he'd been accepted to medical school. Then, Leo tells Martin a story about his own father, Dr. Samuel Firestone, an extraordinarily gifted doctor and a living legend in the small city of Hobart, NJ, but a man with a serious character flaw. During the summer of 1943, while Leo worked as Samuel's extern, he witnessed some highly questionable behavior. Illegal abortions, supplying heroin to an addict, black market pharmaceuticals, babies sold to adoptive parents... all in a day's work for Samuel Firestone, M.D. When Leo decided his father was covering up a murder, he and his girlfriend, stage-struck Harmony, followed a trail of clues into the Fleischmann Scrapyard. There, they ran afoul of old Oscar Fleischmann, Samuel's longtime nemesis. By the time Leo realized he and Harmony were in far over their 16-year-old heads, it was too late to call off the investigation. But there are loose threads in Leo's story. Martin picks them up, and 60 years after the fact, goes snooping in Hobart. And, like his father, he comes away with a whole lot more junk than he'd bargained for. --Provided by publisher.
