A new administrator is hired to ease the transition when
overcrowded and landlocked Perrine Memorial Hospital is bought out
by a behemoth hospital system that covers much of the Pacific
Northwest and promises to build a new hospital in Twin Falls. But
Marcus Manning, a good ole boy with roots in Twin Falls, far from
making anything easier, manages to earn the enmity of medical staff
and employees alike as he ruthlessly goes about eliminating anyone
who might oppose him in his quest to become not only CEO of Perrine
Memorial, but CEO of the entire system. Unwisely, he starts his
campaign with pathologist Toni Day, who blows the whistle on
Marcus's twisted campaign of lies, blackmail and sexual abuse until
the medical staff finally considers firing him, but is saved the
trouble by someone with a more permanent solution ... of cyanide.
Toni, as one of the prime suspects, is forced to solve the mystery
of Marcus's murder to keep herself out of jail, and as she delves
further into the private lives of those involved in Marcus's life,
finds herself forced to kill in order to save her life and finally
learn the truth.
It is the middle of the night when pathologist Toni Day receives
a call from the coroner informing her that the notoriously sleazy
local attorney, Jay Braithwaite Burke, has just been found dead in
his Mercedes in the middle of a snowy interstate. Unfortunately,
everyone at Perrine Memorial Hospital where Toni works knows Burke.
Over the years, he managed to talk nearly the entire medical staff
into investing into his hedge fund. After it was revealed they had
all foolishly invested in a Ponzi scheme, the feds moved in and he
disappeared. Now, two months later, Toni is about to perform his
autopsy.
It is no secret around town that many might have wished the
attorney dead, including Toni and her husband, Hal. As she delves
into Burke's autopsy, Toni already knows they have few clues to go
on; when she learns the man bled to death, she suspects it was a
homicide. To complicate matters further, Burke's partner also dies
in suspicious circumstances, and Burke's widow and children are
left homeless by a series of house fires. With a brutal schedule
and doubts about her husband's faithfulness, Toni's life is already
complex enough.
But when a mysterious illness casts a bloody pall over the
holiday season, Toni must rely on her pathological expertise to
unmask a killer and rescue herself and everyone she loves from a
bloody death.
Dr. Antoinette Day-a young, successful pathologist known to her
friends and colleagues as Toni-has no idea what awaits her when Dr.
Sally Shore arrives at Perrine Memorial Hospital in Twin Falls,
Idaho, to fill in for a colleague recovering from a heart attack.
Toni's life is about to become a living hell.
Dr. Shore is supposed to see patients, perform surgeries, and
take turns covering the emergency room until the regular surgeon
recovers from his quadruple bypass. But unfortunately, she uses her
temporary opportunity to discredit Toni and tarnish her reputation
with her medical colleagues. When the visiting surgeon is
conveniently murdered-her lifeless body found in Toni's office-Toni
is the obvious suspect. But Toni is not going down without a fight.
Forced to solve the murder in order to save her future, Toni's life
becomes even more complicated when her ex-boyfriend starts stalking
her and threatening her husband.
In this riveting murder mystery, a stubborn pathologist must
rely on more than just her microscope as she delves into a
complicated murder mystery, soon discovering that it is not just
her freedom at stake-but her life.
