Publisher's summary

Dr. Toby Harper works the night shift in an emergency room. She spends her daytime hours alone with her mother who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. When elderly Alzheimer's patients from the same retirement home start dying mysteriously, Toby is the only one suspicious enough to investigate. As a result she finds herself, her mother, and her own sanity at risk.

Critic reviews

"Grabs you and holds you from page one....Be prepared to drop all your obligations until you finish." (John Saul)
"Richly drawn hospital scenes....Chilling science...and breathless ER-style pacing.... A quick, delightfully scary read." ( People)
"[A] spine-tingling medical chiller....The pieces in this adeptly crafted Rubik's cube don't click into place until the final page." ( Publisher's Weekly)

Good Medical Thriller!

With all the insanity that is being revealed in our world today, this book has a significant ring of truth to the reader. well written with good narration. Love Tess Garrison's books!

The second time around was just as good.

For me, a book is a continuing experience. And the books by Tess Gerritsen are so intense and with such good plots that one listening is not enough. I usually put a book aside for a month, even a year and then one evening, when I feel the need for entertainment, I go to my library on Audible and choose a book by one of my favorite authors and listen again. There are things I missed the first time around that I notice on second listening. I love these surprises. George Guidall is not just a narrator of books. He is a performer of the story. He makes both the male and female roles come to life. Thank you Audible for allowing us to have such high quality experiences when we order a book.

Thrilling

Tess Garrison's first thriller and its amazing, love it couldn't stop hearing it the plot is revitting and unpredictable. The narrator was excellent most of the books I heard are read by women so I was a little weary about having a man read but he too was amazing. Love it.

Excellent

Tess did an excellent job on this book. Lots of twists & turns up to the last chapter wondering if the bad guys were going to get away with it. This book combines a couple of story line totally unrelated but much related.
