Lethal Retraction

When a body is found in her trunk, can Dr. Zora Smyth escape a web of secrets and deception before it ruins everything she’s fought for?

After years entangled in criminal conspiracies that cost her a relationship and nearly her life, Dr. Zora Smyth wants just one thing: to focus on her surgical fellowship and rebuild a normal life with her recently reunited family.

But that dream shatters when she returns from a conference in Europe to find police pulling a cellophane-wrapped corpse from her car trunk. Zora’s sure she can clear her name—after all, she’s survived worse.

Until the victim is revealed to be a colleague—a fellow surgeon with a very public grudge against her.

Now the prime suspect in a high-profile murder, Zora is thrust into a deadly investigation that threatens her career, her reputation, and her freedom. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a disturbing trail of hospital secrets—lies that run deeper and cut sharper than she ever imagined.

With her life unraveling, shadowy figures manipulating evidence, and bodies beginning to pile up, Zora must expose the truth before an unexpected enemy takes everything from her…including her life.
