OUTLIERS
Kyle Sanderson is a physician assistant attending the autopsy of seventeen-year-old Sean MacDonald, a young patient whose unexpected death raises disturbing questions.
Then something impossible happens.
Sean’s ghost sits up on the autopsy table and delivers a chilling message:
“Find out who did this to all of us.”
Unable to ignore what he has witnessed, Kyle turns to his supervising physician, Luke Moses. Together, they begin investigating a troubling pattern: patients insured by Americare, a government-owned and operated health insurance program that has rapidly outcompeted other insurance plans, are inexplicably dying.
What begins as an investigation into unexplained deaths soon leads Kyle and Luke into a vast and intricate scheme involving healthcare, political power, influence, and money.
But the deeper they dig, the greater the danger becomes.
As Kyle and Luke work together to uncover the truth, an unexpected romantic connection develops between them. Their growing relationship gives them another reason to fight—but also another vulnerability.
With powerful forces working against them, Kyle and Luke must determine what is really happening to Americare’s patients and whether the people responsible can be brought to justice.
How far would you go to uncover the truth when the truth could cost you your life?
A seventeen-year-old’s unexplained death becomes the beginning of a much larger investigation.
Kyle and Luke uncover a disturbing pattern involving patients enrolled in Americare.
The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their investigation becomes.
Will they expose the truth? or become the next victims?
