Publisher's Summary:
Psychiatrist Troy Stoker, MD, bursts onto the psychiatry thriller landscape. His high-profile patient, the lieutenant governor-elect's wife, makes a simple mistake that could cost her everything, including her life, and brings her face to face with an American jackal.
In this confrontation with corruption, Ann Higgins stumbles into the underworld life of a high-ranking South Dakota statesman, and she catapults her psychiatrist, Troy Stoker, MD, into the conflict. When her chilling discovery threatens to devastate a politician's secret dominion, Ann ends up dangling from a makeshift noose and fighting for her survival while plunging Dr. Stoker even deeper into the battle of minds, muscles, and new tech.
Dr. Stoker enlists Errol Rivera, a fellow physician and military attaché, to help unravel the mystery and take on the challenges set before them. Together Stoker and Rivera use their brilliant intuition, psychiatric savvy, and military skills to pursue the veiled, corrupt politician and hunt down his criminal pack.
Still, Stoker is unaware that his Cuban-born, patriot friend, Rivera, is much more than a doctor with a hero's past. At his command Rivera unleashes an elite band of warriors who engage their training, guts, technology, and weaponry to confront the corruption.
Hold on and jump into this gritty thrill ride as the new hero, Troy Stoker, MD, emerges in an explosive new political and psychiatry thriller, American Jackal.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!
I bought this book based on the many, many good reviews....however, I should have paid closer attention to the bad reviews as they were closer to what this book actually was, bad.
I appreciate that someone sat down for hours to write this and applaud the same as I am not a writer. However, the great many good reviews makes me wonder what they heard...
The characters are simplistic and overblown in their respective roles. The plot is interesting, but not well developed. The political views and Obama bashing is too much. The psychological issues dealt with by the various characters are surface deep and appear to be simplified to reach simplistic readers.
I found a lot of this book to be condescending, simple, boring and transparent. I am an avid reader and listener, and while I appreciate the authors efforts, I have never rolled my eyes more than I have at this book.
I would never recommend this book to anyone.
Attention Getting!

Has its monents
Overall enjoyable but story was very predictable and language seemed out of place for some of the characters.
Just say no.
What disappointed you about American Jackal: A Troy Stoker, M.D. Psychiatry Thriller?
Its hard to figure out where to begin to describe how bad this book was. The writing was very amateurish with many grammatical errors and inconsistencies. The character development was very poor and superficial. The characters world was a very simplistic, black and white one in which self-righteous, paranoid and yet hypocritical behavior is celebrated. And the plot was unbelievable.
As a physician I was very disturbed with much of the medical information presented. Much was inaccurate as to diagnostic reasoning, treatment and scientific facts.
