BENEATH ONE BRILLIANT DOCTOR’S KINDLY BEDSIDE MANNER…
Dr. John Kappler was a well-respected physician in dozens of California hospitals, yet none of his patients ever imagined that his real profession was murder…
 
LURKED AN INSATIABLE KILLER…
The horror began the day he secretly attempted to kill three patients—including a pregnant woman who suffered permanent brain damage at his evil hands. Then, in a driving rampage, Kappler rammed another car, stole it, and used it as a lethal weapon. Yet, incredibly, his fellow doctors bailed him out of jail, and he was soon back on the job.
 
WHO LURED HIS PATIENTS INTO A VICIOUS CIRCLE OF DEATH…
Desperate to satisfy his lust for killing, Kappler cruelly plunged a patient into cardiac arrest. Next, he pulled the plug on a defenseless man unconscious in a hospital bed. Still, no one stopped him. Finally, he exploded in a terrifying rage of violence and murder. Pressing the accelerator of his car to the floor, he cut down a promising young doctor and seconds later maimed a toddler’s mom for life.
 
Author Keith Ablow, a close friend of the murdered physician, paints a chilling portrait of a twisted modern-day Jekyll and Hyde.
