The Final Diagnosis [图书] 豆瓣
作者: Arthur Hailey 出版社: Doubleday 1985
Few writers have had the opportunity to see two of their novels become such record-shattering best sellers as Airport and Hotel. But then few novelists possess Arthur Hailey's remarkable talents. Combining a meticulous eye for detail with a profound sense of human drama, he cuts through the impersonal facade of our great institutions to reveal the all-too-personal conflicts below. THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS was the first of Hailey's exciting novels. A story of the life and death struggles in a large hospital, it focuses on Joe Pearson, the chief pathologist who must make the final diagnosis on every patient-and eventually on himself. Although it has not yet received the same popular acclaim as its sequels, this novel lacks none of Hailey's immense narrative powers. No-admirer of his works will want to miss it. A motion picture version of this novel was entitled The Young Doctors.

Detective [图书] 豆瓣
作者: Arthur Hailey 出版社: Berkley Publishing Group 1998 - 8
Hours before he is due to set off on a long-delayed and much-deserved vacation with his wife and son, Det.-Sgt. Malcolm Ainslie takes a phone call he would have been better off ignoring. The caller is the chaplain at Florida State Prison, delivering a message from Elroy Doil, the serial murderer Ainslie helped put on the prison's death row. On the eve of his execution, Doil has asked to make a confession. But there is a condition: he will deliver it only in person to Ainslie.
Ainslie has no choice. Doil was convicted of a double murder, but he was suspected in ten more. No homicide detective could turn down the opportunity to close ten murder cases in a single night. What Ainslie learns from the condemned man, however, propels the ex-priest-turned-cop into an investigation that reaches into the most elite levels of his own department and the Miami city government. And it tests as never before his skills as a cop and his character as a man.
Master storyteller Arthur Hailey is legendary for the scrupulously researched authenticity and electrifying realism of his novels, for taking readers inside the places where men and women endure and sometimes crack under the pressures of jobs that shape our lives and world. Bristling with the sights, sounds, and true-to-life details of a contemporary urban homicide division, and with all the narrative suspense that has made him one of the best-selling fiction writers of our time, Detective is the novel Arthur Hailey was destined to write.
