Book Description:
When an HMO executive is hit by a car during a morning jog through his exclusive San Francisco neighborhood, he has the bad luck to be transported to one of his own hospitals...and winds up dead in his ICU bed. But in spite of the rumors about his company's substandard care, this death appears to be a case of malice, not of malpractice. Lt. Abe Glitsky has strong suspicions about a doctor with opportunity, means, and motives to spare. But working up a case won't be easy.
Thats awesome - thanks for that, Tailie!
What about the book next to it? It appears to either be in a foreign language (Russian?) or upside-down, but the text looks distinguishable.
Found on Wiki:
John Chipman Farrar (1896-1974) was an American writer and publisher.
He was born in Burlington, Vermont. After serving in World War I, as an aviation inspector, he graduated in 1919 from Yale University and was a member of the Skull and Bones. In that year his book Forgotten Shrines was awarded the Yale Younger Poets Prize.
He became editor of The Bookman, up to its 1927 purchase by Seward Collins. Going into publishing, he worked for two years at Doubleday, Doran and Company. Then in 1929 he was a founder of the house of Farrar and Rinehart, with Stanley M. Rinehart Jr. and Frederick R. Rinehart, sons of Mary Roberts Rinehart who had also been at Doubleday Doran.
Later, after war work in WWII, he was a founder of Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Notable success in the field of publishing was achieved by many of the Skull and Bones classmen in those years. Fellow Bonesman, Charles Phelps Taft headed Taft's media empire, Hamilton Hadley Persident Research Corp., Henry Luce founded Time Magazine and headed the Time-Life empire. Francias Thayer Hobson was President of William Morrow & Co., David Sinton Ingalls was President and Publisher of Cincinnati Publishing, Charles Christian Haffner Jr.was CEO RR Donnelley & Sons and Storer Boardman Lunt was President of American Book Publishers Council and National Publishers Association
Bonesman of Farrar's graduating class in the news included the Boodle Boys Yale Flying Group which gave rise to the US Department of Air Defense headed by Brown Brothers Harriman Bonesman Robert Lovett.

try this link.. and read "about the novel"
don't know if this hjas anything to do with lost.. but i find some of it similar.. also the name farrar straus giroux is at the top of the screan..
amanda,
The book is upside-down. The 3 words are Farrar, Straus, and Giroux. Jon, the post below yours, explained who they were, but didn't explain that those were the names on the book you asked about. Just thought I'd help make that clear.
Uh oh. Skull and Bones.
I'm still looking for someone with insight as to why this book is important to Ben. Anybody?
Farrar Strauss is just a publisher's imprint... like Harpercollins. There are many books currently published under this imprint, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
The newer book gives us a real time reference, i.e., post 2003 publishing date. I think that's it really for that one - unless there's something about killing patients that intrigues Benry. Maybe the older on is significant.
david, what you said could actually be relevant.
Ben's mother died while giving birth to him and he probably feels a little angry at himself for that, especially as it seems as if his dad kinda hated him for it. Could Ben be killing all the pregnant ladies?
