When Jack gets permission to perform and autopsy, nothing unusual is found...at first. But further toxicology test reveal a starting result.

THE CUNNING MAN by Robertson Davies

DAVIES, R.

A doctor who practices what we would call holistic medicine tends to the bodies and souls of middle class Toronto. Although not as compelling as some of his earlier works, Davies can still stun the reader with his insight and make him laugh out loud at the foibles of the human species.

There really isn't any modern writer quiet like him. Fiction with soul and bite.
