Tom Davis wanted to be a surgeon more than anything else in the world. After losing a patient while he served in Korea, Davis knew his only chance was to regain confidence in his surgical abilities. Back in Chicago post-service, he picked up his career where he'd left off. But the demons visited him again and again and threatened to cut short his surgical career. Then things got worse. He operated on a fat guy with a bullet in his belly. Not unusual in 1950s Chicago. What made this case special was that the guy had just stolen a fortune in diamonds. Crooked cops and politicians on the take accused Davis of stealing them. Mobbed-up bad guys made his life hell. A beautiful Chicago Tribune reporter joined him to solve the mystery of the missing diamonds, but whose side was she on? He couldn't trust the cops, he certainly couldn't rely on promises that mobsters just wanted the diamonds and would let him live once he turned them over. Could he depend on the comely journalist, or did she want to off him too? Where were the diamonds, anyway? Aha! Still inside the fat guy, now iced down in the morgue. Things quickly became interesting...and deadly.
