The Surgeon A Psychological Thriller by Johny Griffith Chapter One: The Hands of God The operating room was his cathedral. Dr. Steve Bry stood beneath the sterile lights as if beneath stained glass, the hum of machines his choir, the scalpel his blade of mercy. He had saved more than a thousand lives on this table.

🩸 The Chronicles of Sanju Banju Written by Johny Griffith — Architect of Chaos, Builder of Truth Prologue: The Name That Bled They didn’t whisper his name. They flinched  from it. Sanju Banju.
