From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author CJ Lyons, Book #2 in the Hart & Drake medical suspense series:
âThereâs an oath doctors take,â Detective Mickey Drake said.
âPrimum non nocere,â the shrink supplied. âFirst do no harm.â
Two months ago Dr. Cassandra Hart was forced to kill a man. The man who murdered her best friend, almost killed Drake and seriously wounded her. Now sheâs back at work in her Pittsburgh ER, but nothing seems the same.
When she fears that a young boy is being abused by his âperfectâ mother, her friends and colleagues worry that sheâs returned to work too soon, imagining dangers that donât exist. Others accuse her of trying to cover up her own alleged mistakes in the boyâs treatment by making a false report of abuse.
Drakeâs facing problems of his own, trying to cope with the aftermath of the night two months ago when his passion for Cassie led to a confrontation with a killer. Heâs on desk duty, reviewing cold cases, and delves into the homicide case that killed his father seven years ago. But after so long, what good can he do, a cop without a gun?
The stakes escalate when Cassie is almost killed and Drake finds evidence that the killer his father was tracking might be planning to strike againâthis time targeting a young boy.
With the lives of two children at stake, how can they walk away?
