Dr. Gideon Box is not the kind of doctor you want treating you. John Locke’s four-book series follows a physician with a flexible moral compass who gets pulled into increasingly dangerous and darkly funny situations. The books have the same irreverent tone that runs through Locke’s other thriller series, with a medical setting adding a fresh angle.

The series kicked off with Bad Doctor in 2012, followed quickly by Box later that same year. Outside the Box came in 2013, and Boxed In! closed things out in 2016. That final book ties into the Donovan Creed series as well, giving readers of both series a crossover to enjoy.
