Publisher Description

A nurse interrupted their pizza complaints with a shout: "GSW Trauma One--no pulse, no blood pressure." The residents rushed to meet the gurney and immediately recognized the unconscious shooting victim: he was the teenage delivery boy from their favorite all-night restaurant, and he'd been mugged bringing their dinner.
