Bleed

Dr. Jack Stapleton thought he left the ruthless grip of corporate healthcare behind for good after a private-equity buyout destroyed his ophthalmology practice. In the decade since, Asclepius Health Partners has gone on to devastate community hospitals, cutting corners, piling up debt, and walking away with fortunes while leaving entire towns without care.

Now, as a large New York City hospital appears headed for the same fate, Jack is reluctantly pulled back into Asclepius's orbit to document its shady business methods. When the hospital's administrator is found dead, reportedly by suicide, Jack's suspicions are only deepened. A closer look at the evidence points to murder—and a shocking cover-up.

But with the truth threatening to surface in the press, the firm will do anything to keep their empire intact. Suddenly Jack knows too much—and he's become their next target. Exposing Asclepius could save countless lives... or it could cost him his own.
