The Killing Vote
by
"Seven days!
Bette Golden
rated it 5 stars
That's the deadline to stop a political-corporate scheme to legally murder vulnerable patients. Ted Yost, a semi-retired journalist, barely starts an investigation into a plot to legalize selective euthanasia when his client's office is blown up, his home is ransacked, his wife is kidnapped, and there's an attempt on his life. What he doesn't know: the conspirators include the nation's largest for-profit healthcare corporation, a powerful D.C. lobbyist, and the White House. Can Ted stop a killing vote by Congress?

No Pat Hands
by
"When a Northern California Indian tribe’s plan to create an oceanfront casino-resort is stymied by murder, a tribal leader seeks help from a friend, Las Vegas-based private investigator Zachariah Tobias Rolfe III, who specializes in solving gaming-related crimes … on either side of the tables.
Bette Golden
rated it 5 stars
Rolfe immediately becomes embroiled with two murders, attempts on his life, a dishonest Washington lobbyist, a number of underhanded locals, and a pair of beautiful women before solving the case. The book further contrasts the devastating experience of a single Northern California Native American tribe, from its first conflict with the white man in 1776, to its heroic return from near extinction through casino ownership. Past or present, it’s the land; it’s always been about the land." See Review |

rated it 5 stars
In this third Gina Mazzio, RN series of medical thrillers, Gina and fiancé Harry Lucke sign up for a Travel Nurse assignment at a small Nevada facility involved in clinical drug trials, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. On their first day, driving down a long, creepy private road, ominous sentry-like boulders rise up to block out the sun. When they finally arrive, Gina's "warning" eye starts to twitch when she sees iron bars across all the second-story windows. What kind of place is this, what are they really getting into?"

Bone Dry
by
"Gritty! Carl Chapman, a young man with an excellent prognosis, has already died--and another patient’s acting weird and desperate; a third, a teen-ager, has actually run away.
Bette Golden
rated it 4 stars
Gina soon finds out her patients are being subjected to a diabolical form of blackmail after being blasted with chemotherapy and every other toxic poison available to save their lives. Most days they're so run down they're more dead than alive. But there’s one chance for survival—each will be infused with his or her own treated bone marrow – frozen, secure in the hospital’s storage vaults. And then comes the note: “We have your marrow...pay $50,000 or die now!"" See Review |

Sisters in Silence
by
"Medical thriller about a fertility counselor who goes on a killing spree of barren women in the warped belief that this "act of mercy" will save them -- her "sisters" -- from a life of suffering. Although she hides her crimes by making the killings appear to be accidents or suicides, she is uncovered by a suspicious and persistent fertility clinic RN and her reluctant-but-efficient deputy sheriff roommate. In the process, the female nurse/deputy amateur sleuths also expose unethical and illegal practices by the fertility clinic's MD founder-owner-operator."

Sin & Bone (Gina Mazzio #2)
by
"The SECOND fast-paced medical thriller in The Gina Mazzio Series.
Bette Golden
rated it 5 stars
STOP ME BEFORE I KILL AGAIN That’s the plea RN Gina Mazzio hears when she gets an anonymous call the night before her wedding. The cops say it’s a crank call. Her fiancé says she’s altar-shy. Her fellow workers call her “crazy.” But Gina has a bad feeling… Then two of her fellow nurses at San Francisco’s Ridgewood Hospital go missing. Instead of a honeymoon, Gina's plunged into the dark world of the black market trade in human body parts. This is not a medical thriller for the faint-hearted. When a third nurse, Gina’s redheaded friend Megan Ann Hendricks, fails to show up at work after a date with a charismatic pharmaceutical salesman, Gina’s suspicions begin to dovetail with those of SFPD's Inspector Pepper Yee. Gina ends up a kidnap victim offered up to a serial killer with extremely grisly propensities—and a lucrative sideline in black market body parts. Should we say it again? Don’t come near this fast-paced medical mystery if you're the least bit squeamish!" See Review |
