“Convincing and disturbing…Hurwitz’s careful attention to…the very fine villain…Clyde sets up the most unusual aspect of Do No Harm: the author’s and the protagonist’s compassion for a perpetrator. This runs so contrary to the temper of our time that it shocks. I admire it.”

BARNESANDNOBLE.COM

The best book that I have read in a long time. It is deeply satisfying on many levels. A novel of psychological suspense, an unsettling medical study long kept secret, a man trying to do the right thing in a world gone wrong, and a pathological killer. With all of those ingredients that make up a compelling thriller, Mr. Hurwitz has added a depth to his characters that makes them real, not cardboard cutouts. The reader understands and can empathize with every character, from the LAPD, the staff, Dr. Spier and the madman.”
