The Last Surgeon Makes The NY Times List

MPBooks — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:31:05 +0000

The NY Times hardcover fiction best seller list for the week 2/15/10 through 2/21/10 (to be published in the 3/7/10 issue of the Times Book Review) includes THE LAST SURGEON at #15. Adding to our excitement is that TLS was only on sale for 6 days, and also that the list is a cruncher, including The Help, The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, and books by James Patterson, Stuart Woods, Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son), Laurell K. Hamilton, and Steig Larson (The Girl Who Played with Fire). So, thank you, thank you all. After so much hard work writing, then promoting the book, it is incredibly rewarding to have it be appreciated in this way.

The Last Surgeon: Most Terrifying Killer Since Hannibal Lecter

MPBooks — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:05:17 +0000

The Huffington Post reviewed THE LAST SURGEON

The Last Surgeon: Most Terrifying Killer Since Hannibal Lecter

“Franz Koller is one of the most deadly villains to grace the pages of a novel since the introduction of Hannibal Lecter. Koller is a killer who enjoys his work and does it methodically with no regard for his victims. He appears in the first chapter of Michael Palmer’s new novel The Last Surgeon and that chapter is as chilling as any murder scene ever written…. This is the kind of book you read with a bright light on and all the doors locked. Franz Koller will creep you out and is the stuff of nightmares. He is the one who puts the chill in this thriller and he does it with a demeanor void of humanity…. grab this book up quickly and start its suspenseful ride. Palmer will have you in the palm of his hand as he manipulates the plot and manipulates the pulse of the reader.”
