About the Book

Iliana Gosnov—an otherwise beauteous nurse, crippled with spastic monoplegia, due to her mother’s low blood oxygen level during delivery—suffers with a severely dysfunctional leg and a terrible limp all her young life. She explores causes as an adult and is psychotically compelled to kill Aaron Concord, a claims investigator, who follows defense counsel’s directive and toys with medical records to avert his client hospital’s malpractice liability exposure. Follow along with the delusions, fantasies and her increasing ties with the local Russian mafia, while she weaves a self-destructive web to capture her dream of achieving satisfaction.


About the Author

Born in Los Angeles and raised in an undeveloped Los Angeles suburb, author Doug Templin attended local schools and college in the city. A pre-med major, he worked summers, weekends, and holidays in a large hospital as an orderly and later as a surgical technician. His unique clinical experience led to employment after college, as an insurance claims investigator, soon to specialize in bodily injury cases and later, medical malpractice matters. During his second decade, as the owner of a firm concentrating on professional liability claims, he handled a regular flow of physicians’ and hospital malpractice cases, which provided a broad base for a novel to evolve with medical/legal overtones. An instrument and commercial rated helicopter pilot, the author found opportunities to weave that interesting experience into the story, along with snippets of Washington State where he lived and worked for a year. See his first book, Red Star on the Sail, an exciting sea epic, available at your favorite bookstore or from Authorhouse.com, and his second, just published. To Cast a Fly is the story of a fisherman who re-discovers love and stumbles on treason in the quiet of Michigan’s north woods.
