Mark Hopkins

In Salt Lake City, Utah, an Ob-Gyn doctor places an emergency phone call. Soon after, he is discovered dead in his office. His death is reported as tragic and attributed to suicide, but when his wife calls the "last number dialed" on his cell phone she reaches a Dr. Mark Adams, formerly of Utah. Dr. Adams previously embroiled in a conspiracy involving corporate health care two years earlier (Hospital Privileges) unwittingly agrees to help her. After she disappears, Dr. Adams begins an informal investigation of her husband's death. He enlists the help of some old friends including a police officer from Vail, Colorado, Scotty Corrigan, and uncovers a deadly conspiracy involving the collusion of malpractice attorneys, attorneys defending doctors and malpractice insurance companies. As he attempts to gather evidence he finds himself on the run for his life. A race begins between the pursuit of truth and justice...and his very own life.

In a Colorado ski resort town, two doctors die under mysterious circumstances, while their deaths are reported as little more than a "tragic accident." However, a local police detective named Scotty Corrigan, is suspicious of the deaths. During his investigation, he contacts Mark Adams, a doctor in a resort town in Utah for help in the case. Unbeknownst to the police officer, Adams begins to do an informal investigation of the deaths on his own and discovers something more frightening that anything he has ever encountered. Suddenly, he is propelled into a world where there is no distinction between right and wrong, good and bad, and where power and wealth determine everything -- the world of corporate health care, where the bottom line is the dollar. He frantically turns to the only person he knows. When his information lands in the wrong hands in Washington D. C., a race begins between the pursuit of truth and justice -- and his very own life.

This is the first book to attempt a theological portrait of a pivotal generation in the history of the English Free Churches. It does so through a dual strategy: firstly, studying the theological development of key leaders over several decades; and secondly, capturing the state of the Unions -- Congregational and Baptist -- through the freeze frames provided by their biggest denominational controversies in the 1870s and 1880s respectively. Archetypal Victorians whose working lives stretched through most of that long reign, in the 1860s this generation inherited leadership from a predecessor that had eked out the dying momentum of the Evangelical Revival. Bathed in the formidable energy of a newly discovered Romanticism, they wrestled strenuously with the fresh challenges it exposed them to while engaged in lengthy ministries in thriving city churches. They variously tried rejecting and embracing the liberal transformation of their evangelical heritage, or even, in the case of R. W. Dale, somehow achieving their synthesis. Yet in the end neither he nor C. H. Spurgeon, nor anyone else, really found an expression of Christian faith that the next generation could take up and build with, and their successors were to preside over the first obvious stages of a long, deep, and traumatic decline. At a time when this period is again being scrutinized for that elusive 'answer', the author will not claim to have tracked it down there; but the conclusion nonetheless indicates that this study surprisingly helped open up vistas much broader than those of the nineteenth-century debates.
