Get inside the true pace of a big city emergency room. This is a medical thriller, rife with well researched medical facts and heated emotions.

A serial murdered is prowling Manhattan's Upper West Side, leaving a child's doll at the scene of each brutal crime. Evelyn Sutcliffe has already crossed paths with the faceless, cold-blooded psychopath, and she survived. Others had not been as lucky.

A tough professional addicted to the adrenaline rush of the life and death emergency medicine, Dr. Sutcliffe has seen close up what the so-called "Babydoll killer" is capable of. But her world is rocked when yet another brutalized young woman on the brink of death is brought into the ER. Because this victim is someone Evelyn knows: a medical student and respected colleague. A friend.

The pressure mounts as other slayings occur and she falls into the arms of a dangerously secretive fellow physician. And all evidence is beginning to suggest the unthinkable: that someone in Evelyn's tight medical circle is a killer.

You will NOT be able to put this one down.
