A Summiting Mount Everest is a feat few people can imagine. For Dr. John Hegland, a Toronto surgeon, the chance to visit base camp and then speak at a major medical conference in Kathmandu is enough of a thrill. But what started as a quick jaunt turns into a high-stakes adventure. While travelling with Suzie, his partner, John has a random run-in with someone from his past, Eduardo, who plans to climb the world's highest peak. Despite having fallen out of touch, the two reconnect on their flight to Nepal. Fond memories rush back, but Eduardo, seemingly rudderless, also reveals his complicated past to John. One that continues to haunt him as heir apparent to his Italian family's fortune. Eduardo is trying to fulfill his dreams and conquer his demons, but John quickly realizes his friend's life is at stake, and not just from a storm approaching Everest.
Dr. John Hagen, a retired surgeon and novelist, has deftly brought together his medical expertise and passion for travel and adventure in his newest thriller, The Heir. He brings back recurring character Dr. John Hegland, a familiar figure in his previous novels. The slightly naïve and yet kind-hearted surgeon always sees the best in everyone, while his partner, Suzie, an expat-Colombian, uses her sixth sense to sniff out trouble. Together they try to puzzle out who's after Eduardo, hoping they can save him before it's too late.
