Publisher's summary

From Lyn McFarlane comes an atmospheric crime thriller set in a hospital where nothing is as it seems.

Nurse Meredith Griffin runs St. Jude Hospital’s emergency ward, the largest on the Pacific Northwest coast. A psychiatric nursing specialist, she’s good at managing other people’s problems but is less adept with her own.

When a 22-year-old woman is admitted to Emergency with severe lacerations that prove fatal, her death is labelled a suicide, but Meredith isn’t convinced. Soon after, her boyfriend, Detective Leo Donnelly, attends the scene of a young woman with the same mysterious fatal injuries, and Meredith knows something is terribly wrong.

As she tries to connect the dots, Meredith quickly realises that everyone—in the hospital, the Catholic church and law enforcement—is hiding something, and she must put more than her job on the line to expose the killer before they strike again.
