    About this ebook

    Khan Uzma stroked his beard. “The third way is to have him do something he would never have thought himself capable of doing – something abhorrent. It must destroy the way he thinks about himself. And, in this moment of change, when the old self has been destroyed, one reaches in and grasps the naked soul.”

    Thus begins the descent of Dr. Elial Kirsch, from a sunny New England hospital to the dark tribal north of Pakistan. In probing a mysterious death, Elial stumbles on a deadly conspiracy. Victim of Excellence unfolds in the wake of the Soviet-Afghan war and the rise of the Taliban. Featuring the diabolical ideologue Khan Uzma, the corrupt General Aziz, and an American billionaire, Elial must reconcile his own past if he stands any chance of saving himself and his colleague, Dr. Katie Darling.

    Part medical mystery, part love-story, Victim of Excellence is the gripping story of the formidable odds facing Elial as he clings to his old-world beliefs of good and evil.

      A five star read! I couldn’t put it down. The title and jacket description do not do the book any justice at all. The author is a real life doctor, an infectious disease specialist, assuring the reader of the credibility of the medical details.

      This is an exciting, spine-chilling medical whodunit, a Mission Impossible thriller, “Tom Clancy-esque’s” Jack Ryan rolled into one exciting bioterrorism adventure: a global threat driven by the greed and evil ambition of Paul Rushmore and his henchmen, army men of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and medical experts lacking moral scruples; and of those ambitions being threatened by the intellect of Elial Kirsch, resolute loyalty of Dr. Katie Darling, wily quick-wittedness of Joe Caruso, and fatherly support of a mysterious fatherly philanthropist, Sam Rosenthal.

      I’d been presented this book as a gift from the author himself several years ago. I completed the enjoyable read in a couple of days. It’s a great book that I’d recommend wholeheartedly to anyone in search of a credible medical whodunit. A thriller of a high order, one that bears a new name, Amar Kureishi!!
