Kate is a reporter for the Nashville Herald. While she is
there one day working on a story, she stumbles upon a well
known country singer, who is there for surgery. Kate
wonders why Gwendolyn Cartwright would be having
angioplasty surgery. She is young and that is surgery
usually done to older patients. What the heck is going on
here? They are trying to move her from the hospital and
she finds them slipping out the back door when Gwendolyn
starts to crash. Now Kate really wants to find out what
is going on!
NASHVILLE MERCY is the name of the hospital and where Kate
finds her old friend Jan. Jan fills Kate in on what is
going on with the cardiac unit where Jan works. Jan tells
Kate that there are many cardiac surgeries being preformed
on patients that do not need the surgery. Kate, ever the
reporter, can not let this go un-investigated. She
convinces Gwendolyn to tell her story. Gwen wants to tell
her everything about her near death experience from un
necessary surgery because she wants to make a difference
and feels she has an obligation to tell the truth. Her
lawyer tries to convince her not to do it. He feels it
will hurt her image if her story comes out.
NASHVILLE MERCY is where Kate meets Bradley Wickham. He
is the executive Vice President of Operations there and
there is instant attraction between them. Kate wonders if
he is a good guy or if he's mixed up in the illegal
activity at the hospital. She is on an unexpected roller-
coaster ride where Kate discovers secrets that someone is
determined to keep buried. Bodies start to drop and that
is all I can say without ruining the story for you. It
all comes together for a chilling ending. An ending that
will leave you wondering if this is going on at your
hospital!
NASHVILLE MERCY is a highly suspenseful and pulse-pounding
thriller. I was emotionally invested in Kate and her
troubles from the very first chapter. My heart was
breaking for her as she didn't know who she could trust.
Her ex fiancé Andrew? What about Bradley? Everyone is
telling her not to trust him but he seems so genuine and
she truly likes him. How is she ever going to get to the
truth with her feelings all mixed up? You have to read
NASHVILLE MERCY to find out! I still can't believe
NASHVILLE MERCY is a debut novel!!
When a promising country music singer on the verge of
stardom mysteriously dies after undergoing a routine
medical
procedure, Kate Katelinson, an investigative reporter for

After sources connected to the reporter’s investigation

labyrinth of betrayal, corruption, and murder. Armed with
only her investigative instincts and an unlikely alliance
of
friends, the reporter enters a terrifying game of

could
have ever anticipated.
To complicate matters, Kate finds herself torn between her
brilliant ex fiancé, and a charismatic hospital executive
