内容简介：
When patients check into a hospital, they put their trust and lives in the hands of strangers who promise care, compassion, and a cure. For those admitted to Wilkes Memorial Hospital in Washington State's capital city, that trust may be misplaced to the extent of murder. Bill Deming is a medical intelligence officer turned financial consultant on assignment to audit Wilkes Memorial Hospital for a prospective patron. It is a pleasant coincidence that this routine assignment takes Bill to the town of his youth and first romance after twenty years away. It doesn't take long before the Wilkes audit turns anything but routine, and instead uncovers a trail of questionable finances, suspicious patient deaths, and murder. With the help of a brilliant and attractive young nurse and her detective brother, what Bill uncovers threatens his job, his life, and the life of a newfound love.
