In the newest China Bayles Mystery in the New York Times bestselling series, China comes to the aid of a nurse who ends up in the hospital...
Itโs mid-April in Pecan Springs, and China is renting her guest cottage to Kelly Kaufman, who needs a temporary place to live as she contends with a very acrimonious divorce from her husband Rich. One nasty point of dispute is her part ownership of the Comanche Creek Brewing Company, which she is refusing to sell.
At the same time, as a nurse employed by a local hospice, Kelly has discovered instances of suspicious practices. Even more disturbing, she suspects that a patient was murdered. Kellyโs knowledge could be dangerous, and she wants to get guidance from China on what to do.
But on her way to Chinaโs house, Kelly is forced off the road and critically injured, putting her in a medically induced coma. Now itโs up to China to determine who wanted her out of the picture. Was it her soon-to-be ex? His new loverโwho happens to be the sister of Chinaโs friend Ruby? Or someone connected with the corruption at the hospice?
China owes it to her friend to uncover the truthโbut she may be putting her own life at risk...
