Publisher Description
From the New York Times–bestselling author, “a breathtakingly fast-paced medical thriller” starring four women who face life and death every day (Publishers Weekly).
It’s the first of July, the most dangerous day of the year, as the interns fresh from med school show up for their first day at Angels of Mercy Hospital.New ER doctor Lydia Fiore finds herself losing the wrong patient—the Chief of Surgery’s son. To save her career, Lydia must discover the truth behind her patient’s death, even if it leads her into unfamiliar—and risky—territory, finding new friends, new love, and new enemies who will stop at nothing to silence her.
Drawing from her own experiences as a pediatric ER doctor, New York Times–bestselling and Thriller Award-winning author CJ Lyons reveals the secrets of an urban trauma center in the first novel in this dramatic, compelling series.
“All the best episodes of ER and Grey’s Anatomy squeezed into one breathtaking novel.” —HHI Magazine
“A pulse-pounding adrenaline rush.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Before She Disappeared
“An exciting debut novel . . . Engrossing, intriguing.” —Heather Graham, New York Times–bestselling author of Danger in Numbers
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Lyons's spot-on debut, Dr. Lydia Fiore's first case as attending emergency physician at Pittsburgh's Angels of Mercy Hospital goes much better than her second: Jonah, the son of the chief of surgery, dies despite her best efforts. Put on immediate suspension pending a review and with no clear answers as to why the young man died, Lydia initiates her own investigation. To Lydia, the autopsy points to murder, and the team that worked on Jonah with her med student Amanda, resident Gina and nurse Nora agrees. As bodies begin to pile up in the morgue, fans of reading about medical procedures up close won't be disappointed. And the gore (and romance with a paramedic) doesn't slow down the action: Lyons delivers a breathtakingly fast-paced medical thriller.
