Doctor Lucifer by Anthony Lee presents a riveting tale of suspense and moral complexity set in the digital age, where cyberattack threats loom over the medical world. Dr. Mark Lin, a skilled but disillusioned internist, becomes entangled in a dangerous game with a hacker known as Doctor Lucifer, whose actions put patients’ lives at risk. As Mark fights to clear his name and protect those under his care, he is forced to confront his doubts and insecurities, leading to personal growth.

Lee's debut novel offers a refreshing twist on the traditional medical thriller, blending elements of suspense, technology, and ethical dilemmas into a compelling narrative. The premise of a hacker targeting a hospital gives an edge to the genre, keeping readers engaged as they follow the characters, unsure of what can happen next. The plot is twisty, and solid psychological dilemmas underpin the narrative. The protagonist's psyche is vividly explored, and his inner world is well-crafted. Unlike traditional hero doctors, Mark Lin is portrayed as flawed and relatable, making his journey all the more compelling and exciting. Lee's writing is sharp and descriptive, and he can draw readers into a world where the ever-present threat of cyberattacks blurs the line between right and wrong. Fans of Robin Cook's Pandemic and Michael Crichton's State of Fear, will enjoy this novel. Lee's debut marks him as a promising new voice in the world of medical thrillers, and readers will eagerly anticipate future literary creations from this author.
