Peter Clement Biography

Born in 1945, Peter Clement worked in the medical field as a physician M.D. for over 30 years. During this time, he became chief of Emergency at St. Mary`s Hospital in Montreal, Canada, and the chief of Family Medicine.

These days he is splitting his time between his career as a doctor in a private practice near Montreal, and his novel writing career, which he finds quite fulfilling.

As he also admits, the stories in his books draw from his experience in the medical arena, dealing with ethical issues surrounding medicine and science, as well as the day-to-day life of an ER doctor.

His Dr. Earl Garnet series includes 5 books and one short story. Lethal Practice, the first book in the series, published in 1997 was also the first book that I’ve read by this author. It was at a time when I was thirsty for more Robin Cook style novels. Peter Clement fit the bill quite nicely.

His Richard Steele series has two books. The rest of the novels are standalone works and short stories. His latest book is called The Woman From the River, published in 2022. The novel was inspired by two cases that happened during the author’s career as a doctor, which left a major impression on him.

The novels by Peter Clement effectively capture the experiences of professionals in the medical field, focusing on ER physicians. They show their full range of emotions, including fear, and doubts, as well as their soaring adrenaline when at work.

With close to 10 books under his belt, the author brings his readers into the inner workings of emergency medicine. While the stories are fictional, the science is true, and we can easily get a glimpse into every medical practice. Some of the topics tackled by Peter Clement are stem cell research, genetic manipulation for the sake of a weapon of mass destruction, superbugs, and emerging deadly illnesses coming from far away countries.
