Synopsis

SELECTED AS A FINALIST ON THE HARPER COLLINS AUTHONOMY SITE!
Lines of Control, a gripping medical mystery, was recently selected by readers on HarperCollin's Authonomy web site (authonomy.com), earning a place in the top 5 reviewed books.

Charlotte Westbrook, maverick Inspector General in the Dept. of Health and Human Services, investigates and prosecutes theft of government money. When three medical students are found murdered on a university hospital campus, she steps outside the bounds of her office to find the killer. In doing so, she puts both herself and her career in jeopardy in this gripping murder mystery tied to the political and social issues of the day.

Going her own way is nothing new for Charlotte. Ever since she entered public service, she's had to prove herself against skeptics who think she secured her career because she is the daughter of a former powerful and well-known senator. But there's been a price. Her attention to her career has kept her without a significant companion throughout much of her 42 years.

Now, as Charlotte investigates the crimes, she discovers how lines of control in how medical care is delivered, as well as in the personal lives of those she meets in the course of her investigation, influenced all those involved and the actions they took, actions including murder.
