"A gripping medical mystery filled with rage and obsession."
--- ForemostPress.com
Dr. Greg Dostoyov is a well-established and respected surgeon in rural Michigan. One of his most important and very-widely discussed surgeries abruptly ends the doctor’s career. After just a few months after the seemingly routine and uncomplicated procedure, the patient, who is also a famous athlete, dies of cancer. The public goes wild and everyone blames Dr. Dostoyov for the death of their hero. He is accused of neglecting the symptoms of cancer and lack of professionalism. Not having any chances of defending himself, Greg leaves the town to escape the accusations and figure out what to do next. On his way to another town, he meets Kate, who is a biologist. After hearing about the surgery and its consequences, Kate feels that there is something suspicious in the story and believes that Dr. Dostoyov should investigate. After some research, Kate and Greg find out about a similar case in California, where a radio announcer dies in similar circumstances.
Inspired by the findings and determined to find out what really was behind the strange deaths of two people, Greg travels to a laboratory in Scotland, where he believes he finds some clues. He does not realize how much danger he is putting himself into, and only after barely escaping death, does he realize that there is something big going on.
I. J. Sarfeh created a fast-paced and extremely captivating medical thriller. From the moment you start reading till the last page, the book keeps you on your toes. The book is full of turning points and unexpected events and will satisfy the most picky thrill seeker. The romantic thread will definitely appeal to the female audience, but overall it is a great book for anyone who loves quite a bit of thrills in their lives. The Final Victim is strongly recommended.

Dr. Sarfeh is a professor of surgery with an extensive background in the medical sciences. He relied on his expertise to write his second novel, The Final Victim. It is the story of a perilous investigation into a bizarre cancer that could be the harbinger of an epidemic.
In rural Michigan a famed athlete undergoes a routine operation. Six weeks later he is dead. The cause? An unidentified form of cancer. The media and townspeople blame the athlete's surgeon, Dr. Greg Dostoyov, for the untimely death of their beloved sports legend. They accuse him of overlooking the cancer during surgery. Consumed by guilt and hounded by reporters, Greg flees the area to ponder his future. He meets Kate Adams, a strong-willed biologist who presses him to look into the mysterious cancer. Together they discover that in California a second victim has died of a similar illness. Coincidence? They don't think so.
The quest for answers takes Greg to a remote laboratory in northern Scotland. And there the ordeal begins, his life threatened by those who would prevent him and Kate from continuing their investigations. Their search ends in a Southern California hospital, where the mystery is revealed in the astounding conclusion.
Dr. Sarfeh blends his scientific knowledge and his passion for creative writing into this fast-paced, suspenseful story of medical intrigue. The plot is riveting, the characters memorable, the climax explosive.
