New Novel Pits Small-Town Doctor Against Small-Time Mob MIDNIGHT ROUNDS by Richard Greene In Richard Greene’s new novel, Midnight Rounds, Charlie Davids, a young Emergency Room physician, spends his days and many nights working at a small regional hospital in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. The staff at Fairview Hospital is like a family to Charlie until the day he finds himself an unwilling recruit of the Springfield Mob. His colleagues know something is wrong, but for their own protection Charlie can’t tell them what’s going on. He can’t even tell his girlfriend, Patty, who wants a relationship not interrupted by late night secret absences and prolonged silent spells. While the action moves back and forth between the beautiful woods and lakes of the Berkshires, and the seedy back alleys and Mob safe houses of Springfield, Massachusetts, the reader is forced to share Charlie’s ethical dilemma of whom to take care of, whom to protect, and how to save his own life.

[Jack · Rating 2 out of 5]

So so --- Takes place in the Berkshires which is kind of cool. A doctor is forcibly recruited by the mob to take care of patients that can't be brought to hospitals. Story of how he tries and then does get out of it.
