How and why did this happen With help from the newest member of the Women s Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer discovers that this is not the hospital s first suspicious case. Other patients have taken unexpected and devastating turns for the worse just as they re planning to go home. Are these just appalling coincidences Or is a maniac playing God with people s lives
When someone close begins to exhibit the same terrifying symptoms, Lindsay fears no one is safe.
