A Kiss Before Killing
(2017)(Book 11 in the Eisenmenger-Flemming Forensic Mysteries series)
A novel by Keith McCarthy
Nothing can keep the doctor away...
In the wake of several unexpected deaths at the hospital, suspicions arise that there is a killer amongst the staff. As Detective Chief Inspector Beverley Wharton and her new sergeant Tom Bayes begin to investigate, they too start to wonder whether patients are dying naturally or if they’re being…helped along.
Then body is found. A body without limbs. Or a head.
As the investigation unfolds, the team must come to come to terms with the fact that there may be a disturbing link between the two cases.
Who is responsible for these deaths? And can they be stopped?
Fans of Patricia Cornwell, Tami Hoag and Tess Gerritsen will be hooked on A Kiss Before Killing.
