Warm and Dead

He flourishes in the heart of a hectic ER but threatened loss of family becomes his greatest fear. Can an intrepid doctor protect his own from a twisted mind?

Dr. Zack Winston's self-confidence wobbles on shaky ground. Slated to see his daughters over Christmas for the first time in five years, the skilled emergency physician worries his relationship issues will prevent them from bonding. His determination to focus on his personal life sinks fast when he questions a pediatrician colleague's alleged suicide attempt by drowning.

Seeking the truth behind a spate of obstetrical deaths, Zack teams with Bridget Larsen, the lawyer who rescued him from a malignant malpractice suit. As they tread a suspicious trail from the hospital morgue to the icy Potomac River, he fears any misstep will plunge them into a lethal wintry doom...

Will his refusal to accept the "official" story cost Zack everything he holds dear?

WARM AND DEAD is the scalpel-sharp second book in the Dr. Zack Winston series of medical conspiracy thrillers. If you like flawed protagonists, puzzling conspiracies, and tense family drama, you'll love emergency physician Mike Krentz's pulse-pounding conflict.
