Samaritans — Jonathan Lynn

Samaritans Medical Center, Washington, DC, can't seem to look after itself and its increasingly desperate doctors, let alone its patients.

The chairman of the board, billionaire arms dealer and part-time philanthropist David Soper, decides that it's time to kill or cure. Business school alumnus and Las Vegas hotel genius Max Green is the perfect man for the job. A man of vision. A man with a mission. A man who knows that wealth care is smarter than health care. He's going to make Samaritans great again. Andrew Sharp, star cardio-thoracic surgeon, turns his back on the NHS and buys in to this brave new world of Porsches and payola. But when his American dream turns into a living nightmare, Andrew discovers that even the newfound love of his assistant, Cathy, may not be enough to save him....

Samaritans is the new novel from the cocreator and writer of Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister.
