Dear Hunterdon County News,

We thought that you would like to know that we are hosting one of the hottest mystery/thriller writers on the scene today. Michael Palmer's last novel, The Fifth Vial is a current NYT's best seller and has been a staff pick since it was released.

Michael's forthcoming novel, The First Patient is nothing short of spellbinding according to one staff person who just completed the advance copy. Don't take just one staff person's word, here is what former President Bill Clinton has to say of The First Patient
"The First Patient is an exciting thriller that is full of surprises and captures the intense atmosphere of the White House, how the medical system works, and how the 25th Amendment could be brought into play. I thoroughly enjoyed it."

--Bill Clinton

Michael Palmer, M.D., is the author of the forthcoming The First Patient (2008), The Fifth Vial, The Society, Fatal, The Patient, Miracle Cure, Critical Judgment, Silent Treatment, Natural Causes, Extreme Measures, Flashback, Side Effects, and The Sisterhood. His books have been translated into thirty-five languages. He trained in internal medicine at Boston City and Massachusetts General Hospitals, spent twenty years as a full-time practitioner of internal and emergency medicine, and is now an associate director of the Massachusetts Medical Society's physician health program.

Palmer says, "THE FIRST PATIENT, dealing with presidential morbidity, the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, and nanotechnology, is a thriller worthy of the name, with more twists and turns than in any book I've written so far, and an ending that is a jaw-dropper. Publication is set for February, 2008-an election year!"
