Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Travel nurse Sandra Tungsten thought she'd left murder behind in the misty mountains of Washington. But when she arrives in the scorching Arizona desert for her next contract at Copper Canyon Clinic, she finds herself in a small town where secrets simmer under the relentless sun. A beloved local herbalist named Marisol Vega has been asking uncomfortable questions about prescribing practices at the clinic—questions that are making powerful people very nervous. When Marisol is found dead in an apparent suicide, Sandra's trained eye catches details that don't add up: wrong-handed evidence, defensive wounds, and a death staged just a little too carefully.

With her therapy dog Hypo by her side and the help of a sharp-witted clinic receptionist and a wise retired rancher, Sandra begins to uncover a pharmaceutical scheme that runs deeper than anyone imagined. But as the new outsider in town, she's fighting an uphill battle. The beloved clinic director doesn't want to believe corruption exists in his practice. The local authorities are ready to close the case. And someone is watching Sandra's every move, determined to protect their lucrative operation at any cost. In the tight-knit world of small-town medicine, asking the wrong questions can be deadly.

From the cozy coffee shops of the Pacific Northwest to the sun-baked desert of Arizona, Sandra Tungsten proves that a good nurse never stops observing—and some mysteries are too important to ignore. Perfect for fans of medical cozies and traveling sleuths, The Mirage Malpractice delivers a satisfying puzzle wrapped in desert warmth, where the evidence speaks louder than confessions and justice comes not from lucky breaks, but from one determined woman who refuses to look away.
