Brain Dead

When forensic nurse Timmie Leary-Parker returns home from the street wars of LA to care for her ailing father, she knows that life back in Puckett, Missouri will be a great change for her. She is prepared for the slow pace, the small-town politics and the feeling that everyone knows her business. She even adapts to the mom-and-pop emergency department where she now works. If she can find a safe home for her daughter and treatment for her father’s Alzheimers, she will tolerate almost anything.That is, until she begins to suspect that a serial killer is walking the halls of her hospital. Patients in the hospital’s Restcrest Alzheimer’s Unit are dying in unprecedented numbers, and old age isn’t answer enough. No one in town wants to investigate. Bad publicity could ruin the town’s most lucrative business, and the primary suspect is its golden-boy director. But Timmie has no choice. Restcrest is the only place that can keep her father safe from his disease. The question is, will it keep him safe from a murderer?In her search for answers, Timmie turns to burned-out Pulitzer-winning reporter Daniel Murphy, who wants nothing more than peace and quiet. Instead, the two of them find themselves sinking into a morass of corruption and greed that puts at risk all Timmie holds dear.
