DIGGING UP DIRTY DEEDS CAN BE DEADLY… Outspoken radio talk show host Sammy Greene returned to New York City to join the liberal Radio USA national network and continue to fight for social justice. Sammy's investigative partner, ex-cop Gus Pappajohn, is now a cyber-consultant living in Greece. Gus' daughter, Ana Pappajohn, has turned her life around and is studying to become a Nurse Practitioner. Ana comes to New York to intern at a public hospital in Jackson Heights, a NY neighborhood in the borough of Queens which hosts a diverse immigrant community. After a Tibetan baby arrives in the ER showing symptoms of what Nurse Ana suspects is arsenic poisoning, the infant’s mother is arrested for attempted murder. Determined to prove the mother’s innocence, Ana launches her own investigation and turns to her father Gus and her friend Sammy for assistance. Gus flies in to help Sammy and Ana unravel a tangled web of corruption and criminal activity linked to two seemingly unrelated murders. With danger on their trail, the trio put their lives on the line to try to prove the mother’s innocence and safeguard the residents of Queens, NY. “What happens when immigrant dreams collide with deadly schemes in New York City? Well, you get a story that’s so prescient, so prophetic, it feels like it could be ripped from tomorrow’s headlines. Sammy Greene is back in a huge way, and she’s diving headfirst into the crossfire of ideology. From the ER to the airwaves, Sammy finds herself fighting a lethal cocktail of arsenic and ambition.
