When eighteen-year-old Gloria Summers dies unexpectedly after
undergoing an elective tubal ligation at Detroit's Henry Ford
Hospital, the mortality review committee can't determine what went
wrong. But three more unexplained deaths of young women sends the
hospital administration reeling. Desperate measures ensue, and
surgical privileges are suspended.
The administration hires renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cole
Buchanan to investigate these suspicious deaths. After reviewing
the cases and performing additional autopsies, Buchanan determines
that the deaths were murders, but he is stymied by the
perpetrator's method. Detroit Police Department investigator
Detective Joe Braun joins Buchanan in the murder probe; this
pairing of a forensic specialist with a seasoned murder
investigator provides unique insight into the case.
Several possible suspects come to the forefront as the
investigation focuses on the victims' backgrounds. Could the
suspicious deaths be tied to the women's Catholic religion? Or is
someone on the hospital staff to blame for the murders? Will
Buchanan and Braun be able to unravel the mystery before more women
die needlessly after surgery? As the investigation continues,
friends become enemies, one involved physician commits suicide, and
an old romance is rekindled within the police department.
