The Cutting Season by Arthur Rosenfeld
Dr. Xenon Pearl cuts brains for a living, and he’s as good as it gets. The other side of this motorcycle riding, brilliant doctor façade is a side that Xenon (aka Zee) hides even from his father. Secretly trained since childhood by his Chinese nanny, Wu, Tie Mei--herself a martial warrior of shadowy lineage--Dr. Xenon Pearl is also a martial arts expert who loves the sword as much as the scalpel. Now his past is showing up to literally haunt him. Dr. Xenon Pearl must use his skill – to defend the innocent, defeat the Russian mob, protect the woman who loves him, and stay one step ahead of a smart cop; he is set to lose everything unless he can cut just one more time.
“A gripping story...The Cutting Season is far more a page-turning mystery than a martial-arts slam-bang, more James Bond than Bruce Lee. Rosenfeld's medical knowledge and martial-arts expertise reinforce an authority and clarity to the work. Away from the book, I [might] dismiss the living spirit...but as I read, I believed her, heard her: that's storytelling!” -- Walter Anderson, Chairman & CE0 of Parade Magazine, Author of The Confidence Course
"Arthur Rosenfeld’s The Cutting Season is a marvelously entertaining blend of many different genres: medical thriller, psychological suspense, fantasy, martial arts adventure, romance, and crime drama, all neatly packaged into three hundred engrossing pages." -- Eleanor Bukowsky of Mostly Fiction Book Reviews
