Unnatural Causes

The intensive care unit at St. Teresa's hospital in St. Louis is head nurse Monika Everhardt's personal war zone -- understaffed, overworked, tangled in union and government bureaucracy. And that's on a good day. On a bad day, two suspicious deaths make her wonder if one of her own is a killer.

As police and pencil pushers descend, Monika takes matters into her own hands with the help of top cop and best girlfriend, BJ. The first death could have slipped between the cracks -- a critical patient, a tired nurse. But the second victim was an old-time mob boss and person of interest to the local D.A. Monika knows it's easy to make a terminal man's death look innocent, but an expert nurse knows the difference between incompetence and murder.

The hard part is finding out who -- and why -- before the killer strikes again.
