Crime Puzzle is similiar to Doctor Prisoner not necessarily in not in the medical genre per say as much as the psychological mind games of a doctor who loses his medical license for malpractice applies to work at a prison, where his plan is to cozy up to all the bigshots there—business tycoons, celebrities caught for doing drugs, sports stars guilty of gambling—and to win allies, with the ultimate goal of getting revenge against the hospital that ousted him.

Both have an element of a past crime or case returning to the present to haunt those who were involved in what may have been a cover up within the criminal justice system.
