Nobody in Serenity, North Carolina, knows that Adam Tyson isdead. Nobody except his former physician's assistant who hasassumed his identity.

Serenity was to be a fresh start and the fulfillment of a vowmade years ago. Being a doctor there is supposed to be a quiet,non-descript job. But it is in this touristy, seaside town wheredrugs flow, insurance is defrauded and people are dying.

As the mystery around these suspicious activities and deathsunfolds, so does the new doctor's false identity. If the pretendercan survive the allegations and keep the unconditional love he'sdiscovered, he just may find the serenity he was seeking.

From Booklist:

Kraus, whose Could I Have This Dance? has sold well, follows with Serenity, a mystery set at a small hospital in the Outer Banks community of Serenity, North Carolina. Two new staffers join the hospital simultaneously: Dr. Adam Tyson, a surgeon, and head nurse Beth Carlson. Beth is almost immediately the victim of a hit-and-run driver--who turns out to be Tyson, who turns out not really to be a surgeon but a physician's assistant who has taken his late employer's identity. Even so, he's the hero, and licensed or not, he's skilled in the operating room. The villains of the piece are the hospital's CEO and a manipulative nurse, who are engaged in Medicare fraud. Though a trifle preachy, Kraus' mystery is engaging, and his operating-room scenes sparkle. John Mort
