THE PATIENT

--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

--Chicago Tribune

"Packs plenty of heart-stopping action."

--The Washington Post

"Palmer owes this reviewer about three hours of sleep spent reading this can't-put-it-downer. You are cautioned...don't start this one at 10 at night."
--The Washington Times
