Miss
Diagnosis
by Derek Dubois
Genre: Horror, Thriller
As a young medical student in Boston, Kate White is barely hanging on.
The stress of interning at a top-tier teaching hospital, compounded
by her father’s recent death and her upcoming wedding to a superstar
surgeon, are proving to be too much to handle.
Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the depths of the hospital’s research laboratory,
secretive experiments have led to a horrific breakthrough. As Kate
finds each new test increasingly overwhelming, she becomes obsessed
with seeking a way out, crossing all professional boundaries, and
putting herself and her colleagues in harm’s way.
In Miss Diagnosis, Dubois imbues his characters with nuance and realism
which heightens the suspense when “the story takes a wild swerve
in the final third that changes the straightforward crime drama into
a horror story” (Kirkus Reviews).
