Katie DeMaio, a bright, ambitious, attractive young prosecutor in a small New Yersey town, recently widowed. A driving accident brings her to Westlake Hospital with minor injuries, where she sees-or thinks she sees a familiar figure carrying a woman's body to his car in the middle of the night. When the woman is found dead in her bed the next day and declared a suicide, Katie determines to find out the truth, and soon uncovers the hidden scandals and fears in the lives of a number of people who seem, on the surface, to be solid, respectable citizens.

A minor road accident landed county prossecutor Katie DeMaio in Westlake Hospital. That night, from her window, she thought she saw a man load a woman's body into the trunk of a car...or was it just a nightmare induced by a sleeping pill?

A minor road accident landed county prosdcutor Katie DeMaio in Westlake Hospital. That night, from her window, she thought she saw a man load a woman's body into the trunk of a car..or was it just a sleeping pill-induced nightmare? At work the next day, Katie began investigating a sucide that looked more like murder. Initial evidence pointed elsewhere, but medical examiner Richard Carroll saw a trail leading Dr. Edgar Highley. He suspected that the famous doctor's work "curing" infertile women was more than cibtriversuak-that it was deceitful, depraved, and often deadly. But before Richard could tell Katie his fears, she left the office for the weekend and an appointment for routine surgery...in Dr.Highley's operating room.

This book was written in 1988 when she was really writing books and not just knocking them off in rapid succession. Very suspenseful, quick read and a Mystery Guild Main Selection.

A very good read

My very first MHC book. Fast paced and character development moves. Plot good. BUT, we knew who the bad guy was from the beginning and it took the fun out of reading a mystery. Book only for MHC fans. Rad about a hundred times in fair condition. Anyone recommend a 5 star MHC book for a newbie to her work?

Wow can this woman write a mystery! This is the third or fourth novel that I have read of hers and I have to admit that she has quickly become one of my favorite Mystery writers. Every single one of the books that I have read by her I have not been able to set down, at all! They keep you interested and they keep you in suspense. You are never quite sure who is the villain or really what is going to happen. Love it! I will keep reading until I read every single one of her published books! Thanks to Mary Higgins Clark! Nobody could ever replace her writing. She's like a V.C. Andrews but in another genre!

She wanted to believe it was a nightmare...

Under her hospital window, she thought she'd seen a man heave a woman's body into the trunk of a car. But recovered and back at work as county prosecutor, Katie DeMaio discovered the nightmare was real...and just beginning. She headed the murder investigation and it led her to a brilliant, controversial doctor who "cured" infertile women. Was something happening at Westlake Hospital that violated the most sacred laws of man and nature? In two days, katie herself was scheduled for routine surgery. As she faced the scalpel, would she find herself fighting not only for the truth...but for her life?
