The true-crime story of a Massachusetts nurse with a dark secret, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Left Behind.
At the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Northampton, Massachusetts, Kristen Gilbert was known as a hardworking, dedicated nurse.

With new insight into the sociopathic mindset of nurses who kill, and the latest details on Gilbert’s ongoing prison sentence, M. William Phelps exposes how one person’s good intentions went so chillingly, killingly wrong . . .

Now it’s up to Sookie and Bill Compton, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder.
Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl’s fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who has set out to make Sookie’s world come crashing down.

by Frank Wheeler
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.0 #ad
Benji Hastings came to Cabel Point to disappear. A boatyard job, a quiet room, and a landlady who won’t let him use the front door. It was everything he wanted.
Until Ronin Schell came home. Fifteen years ago, five men robbed the Schell family blind and left them to die. Now their son is back to settle the score.
A list is posted at the harbor office: THE FIVE GUILTY.
The town doesn’t know what it means, until the men start dying. One debtor is found with silver coins in his mouth. Another crushed beneath falling timber. The rest are hiding behind locked doors, but locks won’t keep Schell out.
