"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.

Obviously a work of total fiction not anywhere based on reality. I enjoyed it because I live in Texas and have lived in Houston so I am familiar with the setting.

Not perfect, but really good reading with primarily 2 storylines that achieve nice closure. I especially liked the ER descriptions that only an ER doc would know. Satisfying ending. Nice blend of characters.
