The Covid Murders: Another American Health Policy Detective Story

The Covid Murders is a medical thriller that also explores what is wrong with American health care and how to fix it. The second in The Irv Tinsley Health Policy Detective series picks up where the acclaimed The Theory of Irv: An American Health Policy Detective Story left off.

The Covid Murders begins with a dead body: an unfortunate patient who dies on an operating room table in a suburban Nashville, Tennessee hospital. Thomas Baker’s open-heart surgery goes wrong, unleashing forces inside the hospital and out that threaten the public’s health. It matters that Thomas Baker is a “very important person” in the community.

Our story’s central hero, Irv Tinsley, is brought into the investigation of Baker’s death through his friendship with the Hospital's new administrator. Their investigation soon encounters big problems, including questions about other suspicious deaths at the Hospital. Could they all be explained by Covid? Or were these just the result of medical errors? Or is there a systematic care problem at play that threatens future patients? Or could it be something even worse?

The quest for truth also runs into political complications of the highest order, not just in Nashville but Washington, D.C. The future of American health policy confronts our heroes! You may come away from this read believing that we are on the path of destruction, that is if we don’t assert control over the health care system and the politics that surround it.

Readers will discover an entertaining way to access the complex issues of American health policy and politics through this cross over genre that adds these important health policy questions to the traditional medical thriller genre. Listen today!
