A gripping behind-the-scenes drama of four women who face life and death every day
On her first day at Pittsburgh's Angels of Mercy Medical Center, L.A.-transplant Lydia Fiore, the new ER attending physician, loses a patient: the Chief of Surgery's son. Now, to save her career, Lydia must discover the truth behind her patient's death, even as it leads her into unfamiliar-and risky-territory.
At least she's not alone. There's med student Amanda, a sweet Southern belle with problems of her own; Gina, a resident with a chip on her shoulder; and Nora, the no-nonsense charge nurse with a cool head but a fiery temper. Not to mention the paramedic who'd like to try out his bedside manner on Lydia.
CJ Lyons is trained in pediatric emergency medicine and has worked as a crisis counselor, a victim advocate, and a flight physician for Life Flight and STAT MedEvac, on the Navajo reservation, and in numerous trauma centers.
"An exciting debut novel...Engrossing, intriguing; I will be looking forward to all her work in the future." -HEATHER GRAHAM, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
