A breathtaking medical thriller.
Nora Halloran is walking into Angels of Mercy Medical Center, to begin her shift as ER charge nurse, when she spies someone dying from an assault in the cemetery across the way. Karen, one of hospital's nurse anesthetists, had been physically assaulted, stabbed multiple times, and left for dead. Karen dies in the emergency room. No clues can be found to identify her attacker and many in the hospital had reason to dislike the woman. But Nora recognizes the attacker's work. Karen's killer is the same man that had kidnapped and physically assaulted Nora two years ago. Though Nora never reported what had happened to her, she can no longer keep quiet.
Lydia Fiore (an ER attending doctor with a major secret of her own), Gina Freeman (an emergency medicine resident with famous parents trying to run her life), Seth Cochran (a surgery resident with a past involving Nora and Karen), and Jerry Boyle (a homicide detective and Gina's fiancé) are but some of the people that join Nora in the struggle to unmask a killer. As the clock ticks, the victim count grows.
***** FIVE STARS! This entire story takes place in less than three full days. The E.R. cases and hospital protocols are extremely realistic. It is crystal clear that the author, C.J. Lyons, knows her crafts (both medical and writer) well. As Lyons weaves her web of suspense and intrigue, she manages to convey to the reader the hectic pace and emotionally draining times in which those working within the medical professions face daily. A real eye opener! *****
