The attending physician

by Emma Lathen

Mary Jane Latsis and Martha Henissart wrote 24 books under the pen name Emma Lathen and 7 as RB Dominic. This is one of the latter, starring Ohio congressman Ben Safford. This novel takes on Medicaid fraud, which was fairly rampant at the time. As usual, interesting cast of characters, and an inside look at the intricacies of Washington.
