"Start reading and you won't stop. A chilling medical thriller." -Tess Gerritsen
Dr. Carrie Bryant is a much-admired neurosurgical resident at an esteemed Boston hospital. When the relentless pace of her residency leads to a life-shattering error, Carrie loses her confidence-and decides to quit her residency and move back home. Her new life's purpose: To help her combat-vet brother, Adam, recover from a crippling case of post-traumatic stress disorder.
The experimental program at the VA Medical Center promises the possibility of curing the ravages of PTSD forever. It seems like Adam's best option, but Carrie has her doubts when one of her patients goes missing . . . and then another. Carrie joins local investigative reporter David Hoffman in the hunt for answers. The hospital, however, is determined to keep its secrets at all costs. As Carrie and David descend into a labyrinth of murder and corruption, the price Carrie could pay for asking the wrong questions is her own life . . .
"A unique novel that shows the strength of both authors' work." - Mystery Scene
