They can be more efficient killers than a host of gunmen. They have the opportunity to commit perfect crimes and usually their colleagues will not testify against them. When their patients die, all they do is apologize to the relatives of the deceased and attribute the loss to heart failure--it is true that the heart stops when a person dies, whatever the cause.It's a profitable occupation, until the wrong person is killed. Then Remo and Chiun are sent in, to find out how--and why--she dies. Chiun doesn't like sick people; he thinks that illness is caused by poor training and lock of moral control. What else can you expect of Westerners with their incredible eating habits? Remo's been in hospitals before--hospitals CURE put him in--and he's even more cynical about medical science.When Remo faces the deadliest doctor of the all, who exposes him to a rare and usually fatal virus, it's up to Chiun to diagnose the disease. He treats it the only way he knows how--with murder.
