I'm currently reading _Out of the Deep I Cry_, a murder mystery by
Julia Spencer-Fleming, and noticed something odd in the back-cover
blurb. After a paragraph describing the mysterious disappearance in
1930 of one Jonathon Ketchem, the blurb continues:
"Now decades later, someone else is missing in Millers Kill, NY. This
time it's the clinic's physician that bears the Ketchem name."
It is the clinic, not the physician, that is named for the Ketchems.
Has there been any discussion of this sort of construction on ADS-L?

This might be an editing goof, a fast and sloppy miscorrection of "This time
it's the physician of the clinic that bears the Ketchem name."
