Praise for Perilous Obsession
“Perilous Obsession is Ogunquit author Geoffrey Cooper’s fifth mystery in his thriller series featuring Brad Parker and FBI Special Agent Karen Richmond. And this is probably the best one of all. Parker knows the medical game and Richmond knows how to squeeze witnesses and suspects to get information. She is much more devious and lethal–they are a perfect team.” Bill Bushnell, Central Maine Sentinel
“In this fifth installment of an ongoing series, Cooper deftly uncoils a complex scheme that not only involves murder, but also human trafficking. Despite its complications, the plot advances at a brisk pace, and the book is brimming with cinematic action and intrigue. An often exciting tale of medical malfeasance and wide-ranging criminality.” Kirkus Reviews
“Perilous Obsession: A Medical Thriller is especially recommended for readers of Robin Cook and his ilk, who will find Geoffrey M. Cooper’s story a riveting tale. He is particularly skilled at creating the kinds of twists and turns that lead readers up one area of possibility before taking a quick turn in the opposite direction. Cemented by Brad and Karen’s relationship and investigative skills and their connections to the medical world, Perilous Obsession is a thoroughly absorbing drama highly recommended for any fan of medical thrillers.” D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review
