Twice Dead

In her debut adventure, Monika Everhardt, head nurse of the intensive care unit at St. Teresa's hospital, learns that a young woman who bled to death following an abortion was never pregnant. She sets out to find why the young woman died.

Did the nurse assigned to care for her, abandon her? Why didn't the staff physician who volunteers at the only remaining abortion clinic in the city recognize her when he admitted her? Where was her husband-an Army ranger supposedly away for training-when she was killed?

As her family threatens to sue and the hospital grapples with financial problems and anti-abortion protestors, a bomb threat becomes increasingly real. Fearing for the safety of her patients and the reputation of her staff, Monika is drawn into a personal quest to uncover the truth.
