How to summarize the second exciting Hope Sze mystery? How about:

• A mother who burns for justice,
• A doctor who can't say no, and
• A killer who lies in wait? Dr. Sze solved her first murder case only a week ago. And almost got strangled in the process. Now Hope just wants to pass her psychiatry rotation. No more Sherlock Holmes-ing. That is, until her first psych patient says, "My daughter is dead. And somebody killed her." Hope can't walk away from a grieving mother. Yet how can she solve a murder that has stumped Montreal police for the past eight years? Sifting through the cold case, Hope recruits two brilliant and hot men, one of them her ex-boyfriend, the other a doctor who could represent her future. Then, as they draw ever-closer to the truth, the killer shifts out of the shadows. Now she must protect not only herself but a mother who yearns for retribution. "Notorious D.O.C." is a psychological thriller about family ties, revenge, and the outer edge of sanity. Librarian's note: the first 2 books in the Hope Sze Medical Mystery Series are #1, Code Blues (2011); and #2, Notorious D.O.C. (2011).
