REVIEWS
Wrongful Deaths starts at a high pitch and never slows down. "Ripped from the headlines" might be a cliche, but it's a true one for the former ER physician's third thriller in his Drake Cody Suspense series. Combs' fast-paced stories deal with the most current social issues... Wrongful Deaths is intricate and scary in its look at a real-life drug epidemic nobody seems able to halt. This series has legs... St. Paul Pioneer Press
"A riveting read from beginning to end...the kind of novel that blockbuster movies are made. Very highly recommended..." Midwest Book Review 2016
"Dr. Combs is a longtime practitioner of emergency medicine and definitely knows his stuff. This book has everything...murder, sex, heroes, villains, "the good, the bad, and the ugly." I couldn't put this book down. The action is nonstop. I highly recommend this book." The Journal of Emergency Medicine
"Masterfully written medical drama...grabs hold of your jugular right from page one and refuses to let go until the shocking conclusion. Nerve Damage is a lightning-fast read packed with twists and turns that will keep readers fully engaged and continually guessing. This is the stuff blockbusters are made of!" TopShelf Magazine
"Big Pharma means big money and when a new drug that just might help the paralyzed to walk is developed, greed, corruption, and even murder aren't far behind. NERVE DAMAGE is a wild ride through the worlds of acute medicine and the pharmaceutical trade. Highly recommended." DP Lyle, award-winning author
“Combs writes with formidable expertise in this taut crime thriller that’s engrossing, convincing, and terrifyingly real. The perfect blend of suspense, action and real-world drama” – Laura Childs, NYT bestselling author
