When she learns the truth, Lisa bursts out of her mourning malaise and embarks on a course of bloody revenge. Fired by indignation and a fierce determination to protect her children, Lisa becomes a formidable tornado of focused energy. There is no peace for Lisa until Earl’s death is avenged, MEDICUS is de-fanged, and her family's safety is assured.MEDICUS is a work of explosive force, at once a page-turning thriller, a study of vengeance deftly achieved, and a pitch black comedy. Through Lisa and an engaging cast of characters, MEDICUS explores an array of compelling themes—a mother’s grief and emotional recovery. The challenge of shepherding three precocious children through a labyrinth of harrowing circumstances. And, finally, an engaging love story forged by a shared crisis.
