About this ebook

An overtired intern, Ian McClintock, is into his second shift in the Emergency Department of St. Cinnabar Hospital when he decides to go to his 'hiding' place before his fatigue causes him to make an error in treating the onslaught of patients. Enroute, Ian sees a strangely clad fellow intern waving at him to follow. Unable to ignore his impulse to help, Ian is surprised as he realizes the doctor is leading him into the morgue. When the other intern mysteriously disappears, Ian wonders if someone is playing a prank until he hears moaning and crying coming from one of the locked cadaver drawers. Fighting the urge to flee, Ian finds a member of the hospital cleaning staff alive and suffering from hypothermia. Ian soon finds himself obsessed with the need to discover who put the poor woman with no apparent enemies into a locked cadaver drawer. Even as he pushes the puzzle out of his mind in pursuit of more urgent problems, nightmares and bizarre encounters with other medical staff continue to draw Ian back into the web of intrigue until he is sure he will lose his mind before he solves the mystery.

B.J. Lucknow

B.J. LUCKNOW B.J. is a mature writer whose varied background as a teacher, library assistant in a military setting, and finally as a hospital technician produced a unique birds eye view of the idiosyncrasies that drive people to bizarre behavior. Using exaggeration in the portrayal of the characters of the mystery novel, B.J. also uses a vivid imagination to develop plots, twists and turns that could only come from such a varied work background. Second youngest child of ten children and older parents, B.J. would have had a boring youth in an economically disadvantaged family if it had not been for a unique ability to make up stories. At an early age B.J. decided to pursue medicine as a career but was thwarted by lack of funds and poor health. Using innate interest in medicine and years of experience working in a hospital, B.J. has created a credible description of an earlier era when Nurses wore white uniforms and Doctors were given deferential treatment not always merited.
