Book Description

ASSISTED SUICIDE.

MURDER.

RIDGELINE, CALIFORNIA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.


Dr. Gates McClure suddenly finds her quiet life and medical practice turned upside down when Dr. Norman Meade, an old acquaintance, arrives to assist a dying woman commit suicide. Then a man is found murdered--and the evidence points toward Dr. Meade.

As Gates searches for answers to the murder, she's also forced to take a hard look at her Christian faith and what she believes about assisted suicide. Complicating matters is her relationship to Dr. Meade. The man she remembers from med school wasn't a killer. . . .


Alton Gansky, author of By My Hands and Through My Eyes, explores a story behind today's headlines in the first Ridgeline Mystery. Alton brings an eclectic background to his writing, having worked in such fields as accounting, advertising, and architecture. Today he is the senior pastor of High Desert Baptist Church in Phelan, California, where he resides with his wife and three children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Controversial subject woven into great story, Oct 28 2002
By 
This review is from: Marked for Mercy (Paperback)
Marked for Mercy is a good solid mystery with compelling, likeable characters. It also treats the issue of euthanasia fairly, showing both pro and con perspectives. The author and main character are prolife, as am I, so I was happy that the prevailing thought was that euthanasia is wrong.

Since reading A Ship Possessed and Vanished by the same author, I hurriedly ordered everything Gansky has written. Normally I do not particularly care for mysteries. I have to admit, when you apply Gansky's talent to the genre, you can't lose.

The first two books of his that I read (mentioned above) were centered on religion and had a strong Christian message. Marked for Mercy was more of a mystery where the main character, a very ethical female physician, happened to be a Christian. If you're looking specifically for Christian fiction, this might not enthrall you as much as Gansky's later books, but if you like mysteries and good writing, this will do very nicely!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dramatic telling of clash between "mercy" and principle, July 25 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Marked for Mercy (Paperback)
If you can ignore a few typos, including one on the first page, the story is surprisingly good. The volatile subject matter (euthanasia) is examined with respect and intelligence on both sides, and drama builds when the two opposing factions clash and must rethink their positions. Excellent characters, good dialog, very creative situations, entertaining, and personally challenging.
