Final Mercy

Dr. Jack Forester, director of the New Canterbury University Hospital emergency department, is struggling to modernize the ED despite fierce office politics, national media coverage, and the obstruction of the power-hungry new Dean, Bryson Witner, when someone tries to murder Jack's Nobel Prize-winning ally and mentor, former Dean James Gavin, and make it look like a suicide attempt.

As Jack begins to uncover facts that suggest that Gavin is not the first victim -- nor the last -- of a terrifying murderer at large, he and beautiful hearing-impaired author and investigative reporter Zellie Andersen begin to uncover hidden truths, furtive conspiracy, and madness, and death becomes a desperately personal affair.
