Dr. Zeke Oswald thought he was getting a fresh start with his new job working the night shift at a small city hospital in Albany, New York. Until, that is, he stumbles across a dead body in the middle of the night. One of the hospital’s nurses has been murdered and soon, beautiful yet inexperienced detective Selinda Bruchart is looking into Zeke’s involvement—and his past. Because Zeke isn’t your average hospitalist. After a foolhardy experiment gone wrong when he was in training, he has carried a dark secret for the past twenty-five years. Along the way, Zeke made some dangerous enemies, and he is afraid that one has resurfaced. And out for revenge. With much more at stake than being a murder suspect, Zeke becomes an amateur sleuth. His path crosses with Patience McMorris, a medical student with some problems of her own. Her life is in a downward spiral and a terrifying accident provides unintentional help to Zeke and a chance at redemption.
