Synopsis

"A wicked prescription guaranteed to give you sleepless nights." ~Nora Roberts

St. Louis Trauma nurse Casey McDonough thinks her life is interesting enough. Her best friend still drops acid, her ex-husband is a cross-dressing psychiatrist, and her mother has turned the third floor of the family home into the Chapel of Eternal Vigilance.

Then, things begin to really go wrong when OB/Gyn Dr. Dale Hunsacker arrives. Handsome, wealthy and charismatic, the good doctor is enchanting the patients of the St. Louis hospital. But, Cassy believes he is a serial killer. And the only person who takes her seriously, is Hunsacker himself.

Caught in a spiral of suspicion and intimidation, Casey approaches ex-Marine, ex-Jesuit homicide sergeant Jack Scanlan for help. All she has are hunches for proof, but she'll do anything to stop the monster walking the halls of her hospital.

"Eileen Dreyer creates the sort of skin-crawling suspense that will leave readers looking with a wild and wary eye upon anyone at the other end of a stethoscope." ~Elizabeth George

About this title

About the Author:

Eileen Dreyer is a forensic specialist who spent 16 years as a trauma nurse before she turned to writing. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri.

From Publishers Weekly:

Dreyer, a veteran romance novelist ( Hotshotone word/pk , under the pseudonym Kathleen Korbel) and former nurse, levels a roguish sense of humor at the medical establishment in this entertaining romantic thriller. When handsome, charismatic gynecologist Dale Hunsacker breezes onto the St. Louis, Mo., medical scene, he enchants patients and hospital staff alike. But Casey McDonough, an emergency room nurse, doesn't buy "his familiarity or his greasy smiles or his control games with his patients." A nurse disappears and another is killed, and Casey wonders if it is only a coincidence that both of them had quarreled seriously with Hunsacker. When a prostitute is murdered and it develops that the good doctor knew this woman as well, Casey takes her speculations to the police. Personable but overworked homicide sergeant Jack Scanlon receives her coolly; after all, Casey has no proof, only hunches directed at an inconvenient target: Hunsacker is respected, wealthy--and friends with the mayor. Meanwhile her fears are confirmed in a terrifying way: Hunsacker subtly hints that he knows exactly what she suspects and that he will be a dangerous adversary as she seeks evidence of his guilt.
