When trauma nurse Timmie Parker moves from California to her
old hometown in Missouri, it seems her hope for turning her
life around will finally be realized: She is miles away from
her bitter ex-husband, respected and admired by her new
coworkers and renewing her ties to her family. Then the
bodies begin to pile up. Elderly patients from Restcrest, a
highly regarded and innovative senior citizen care facility
attached to the hospital, keep dying in her ER, and Timmie
wants to know why. But when she tries to search for answers,
she gets caught in a tangled mystery that seems dangerously
linked to her new friends and to the welfare of her own
father. She finds an ally in Daniel Murphy, a Pulitzer
Prize-winning reporter who offers her much-needed support.
Together, they embark on an investigation that promises to
send Murphy soaring to the top of his profession, but which
also threatens to suck Timmie into a deadly conspiracy that
could cost her not only her job and peace of mind, but also
her life. Filled with the gripping emergency room details
that could only come from a true insider of the medical
profession, Brain Dead is a white-knuckle thriller
guaranteed to keep readers spellbound until the very last page.
