Synopsis

Drawing on his thirty years of nursing experience, mainly in critical care, nurse-author Timothy Sheard has written a gritty, realistic crime novel about life in a big-city hospital. His characters are lively, his pacing is swift, and his narrative captures the pressures and conflicts that break out when death is always near. In this case, death has a helping hand in the form of a calculating killer with a sardonic sense of humor. How else to explain the murderer's bizarre method for disposing of the first victim? The police are satisfied with their suspect, a hot-tempered laundry worker, but his co-workers don't buy it. They enlist the help of their union steward, Lenny Moss, a jailhouse lawyer who is used to interviewing reluctant witnesses and arguing hopeless cases. With his friends joining the investigation, Lenny comes face to face with the killer, only to contemplate his own death in the process.
