“A Savage Place” by Frank G. Slaughter is a medical drama set in a small town. The story revolves around Mike Constant, who returns to his hometown at the request of its leading citizen, Zeagler. Zeagler’s daughter, Anna, is an alcoholic married to Paul Van Ryn, a psychotic artist and the pampered son of the “Duchess” Van Ryn. The plot thickens with various medical emergencies, including a nearly fatal fall, an emergency splenectomy, a pacemaker heart operation, and a hepatitis epidemic.
