Description Richard Kurtz has a reputation as a tough guy, a reputation that he considers absurd, despite the 300 pound biker on a drug induced rampage who Kurtz recently knocked out in the ER.
So when former girlfriend Sharon Lee is found strangled in a hospital call room, Kurtz cannot resist getting involved...and along with police detective Lew Barent, he soon finds himself embroiled in a twisted tale of murder, betrayal and brutal revenge..
Kurtz demands the best, from himself, from his colleagues and from his residents, and he never runs from a fight.
He has a luxury apartment on the East side, a good-looking girlfriend and a busy practice.
Kurtz is a surgeon, a good surgeon, if he does say so himself (which he does, despite the old joke about how if you ask a surgeon to name the three best surgeons in the world, he\'ll have trouble thinking of the other two).
He doesn\'t look for trouble but somehow, it seems to find him.
Kurtz spent four years in the Army.
