The Silence That Speaks

From a New York Times–bestselling author, a surgical nurse’s life is in danger when her hospital boss dies mysteriously while under the knife.

The Forensic Instincts team needs to find out who wants Madeline Westfield dead—and why. Under the leadership of Casey Woods, the investigators have the resources to do just that, working inside the law—and outside it. Casey’s associate, former navy SEAL Marc Devereaux, is a man who’s equal to any situation. Except maybe this one . . .

Because Madeline is the only woman Marc’s ever loved—and his only weakness. Now a nurse at Manhattan Memorial, she’s terrified. Her life is in danger, so she turns to him for help.

Manhattan Memorial is in turmoil. There’s a merger in the works, and the staff is still haunted by their hospital administrator’s sudden death—during heart surgery performed by Madeline’s ex-husband, Conrad. A surgery at which Madeline was present.

With a growing list of suspects, Forensic Instincts will have to figure out who has the greatest motive to silence Madeline. And they’ll have to do it fast.
