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...
It’s 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.
Kelly’s knowledge could be dangerous, and she wants to get
guidance from China on what to do.
But on her way to China’s house, Kelly is forced off the
road and critically injured, putting her in a medically
induced coma. Now it’s up to China to determine who wanted
her out of the picture. Was it her soon-to-be ex? His new
lover—who happens to be the sister of China’s friend Ruby?
Or someone connected with the corruption at the hospice?
China owes it to her friend to uncover the truth—but she may
be putting her own life at risk...
