Synopsis
All is not well at Detroit's St. Vincent's Hospital. The beds are used for more than convalescence. A nasty case of malpractice surfaces. An operating room is spectacularly blown up. Worst of all, Sister Eileen, the iron-willed nun who almost single-handedly keeps the inner-city hospital open, becomes the object of some violently unhealthy attention. Can Father Koesler make the correct diagnosis before the killer writes another murderous prescription?

From AudioFile
DEATHBED is an unusual mystery set in an inner city hospital in Detroit. Sister Eileen keeps the hospital going almost single-handedly but also has an amazing number of people who would like to see her "removed." This is the situation as Fr. Koesler steps in for the hospital's vacationing chaplain. The narrator is unbelievable as he juggles the voices of elderly clergymen and women, medical staff and the all-important security guard, Snell. Holland keeps the story flowing despite some heavy theological discussion as Fr. Koesler unravels the bizarre murder plot . Mystery buffs and Catholics alike will enjoy this religious whodunit.

From Publishers Weekly
Since his debut in Kienzle's The Rosary Murders, Father Koesler of Detroit has been a favorite amateur sleuth. The priest's eighth criminal encounter occurs while he's acting chaplain at an inner-city Catholic hospital. Defying efforts to close the haven for the poor, its chief, Sister Eileen, fights rising costs and enemies on the staff. Tricks by a feckless arch-conservative fail to daunt the nun, such ploys causing only temporary confusion. But Koesler senses the minatory aura, very different from foolishness, which he interprets as a determination to kill Sister Eileen. He's right, although unable to change events set in motion by a malcontent who strikes suddenly. The realistic setting, discussions of theology and humanism add to the appeal in the author's new urbane, witty mystery. 35,000 first printing; $35,000 ad/promo budget; Mystery Guild selection.
