In the midst of a brutal heatwave, the hospital workers at James Madison University Hospital are outraged by the death of a young woman from a botched abortion. They say the cold-blooded surgeon Dr. Odom is a murderer. But hospital bosses defend him, putting Lenny Moss in the middle of the most dangerous campaign of his career. As tempers flare and laundry workers pass out from the heat, a brutal murder sends Lenny down a dark path that threatens his job...and his life.

Hi. I'm a veteran nurse and have worked for 40 years in hospitals. I want to tell the world what it's really like on the front lines of the American health factory. So my crime stories capture the gritty, scary, funny and loving events I see every day in the hospital.
I'm also active in the National Writers Union and the labor movement, because working people need a champion to defend our livelihood and our dignity. So my stories include the struggles that everyday working people encounter on the job and in the community. I'm proud to tell these stories. They need to be read more widely.
Through the NWU I've helped nurture many aspring writers. Quite a few have gone on to be published. I moderate two writing groups a week, one on the job, one at work. If you have a desire to write and become published, I urge you to join the NWU and join or form a writers group - it's the best way to develop your craft and learn how to break into publishing.
There's lot of good suff on my web site, www.timsheard.com. Check it out.
Good luck, Tim Sheard
