About this ebook

Taryn Pirelli is a Seattle-based, travelling anesthesiologist on assignment in Bend, Oregon. When patients under her care inexplicably end up dead, her justified questions are brushed under the rug by the hospital administration. Told to focus on her job, uneasiness and tension plague Taryn.

Blake Myers has come to Bend with his trusty 9 mm by his side and a mind to find a missing friend, an anesthesiologist who hasn’t been heard from since he accepted his latest assignment.

Blake and Taryn’s paths cross and sparks fly as they begin to investigate their mutual interests. Endless administrative red tape, an environment akin to ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ and the reality that no one is exactly as they appear force Blake and Taryn to assemble a vigilant team of allies to uncover secretive players in a deadly game of deceit.

Together they stumble upon a growing flood of counterfeit drugs flowing out of Bend and a scheme that involves big money and bigger risk for anyone who threatens the operation. Working under cover, they learn that Blake’s friend had fallen prey to a horrible truth and Taryn’s life is also at risk.

Romance and suspense collide in this medical thriller.

D.J. Lee

D.J. Lee takes inspiration for her medical thrillers from her profession working as an anesthesiologist. Among friends, she likes to joke that she passes gas for a living. Her view into healthcare has influenced her imagination because as she says, “Many unbelievable situations found their way into my stories from my own experiences, albeit slightly differently.” Like any good mystery, she has changed the names to protect the innocent...and the guilty. It’s true that the strangest things happen in fact, and not in fiction.D.J. likes living on the fringes of life to explore the light and darker side of humanity. “I have a fascination for looking at the shadows behind and around the spotlights where the good stories live.”She calls the Pacific Northwest her home and hopes readers will enjoy her first offering into the dark and creepy side of healthcare.
