A mysterious illness is attacking new mothers, its root cause unknown. It's fast. It's deadly. And it may not be random.
An outbreak of a new illness involving women who are all one-month postpartum leads a colleague to call on Drs. Shaw and Wyatt. When the high-profile daughter of the Governor becomes a victim of this seemingly random ailment, their unique mystery-solving skills are caught in the spotlight.
In their race to save the women, they uncover odd similarities amongst the mothers that point to disturbing conclusions about its root cause. The more they learn, the more dangerous and involved the situation becomes. And when related parties are found murdered, they must race against time to uncover the truth.
But with an increasing number of lives on the line, can they unwind the twisted knot before it's too late?

Before I first set pen to paper as a novelist some twenty years ago, I was a fulltime pediatric surgeon. I completed eight years of surgical training at the Ohio State University and remain an ardent fan. The question I’m asked most often is; how did you find the time to write novels and attend to a busy pediatric surgical practice at the same time? The simple answer is when you spend every waking hour pursuing your life’s passions, you can always find time. But I will admit that having more time now is a luxury that I enthusiastically embrace. It affords me the opportunity to devote more time to writing, and to get more involved with my readers.
