Pulse

AT ELLIS HOSPITAL, MURDER IS MAKING THE ROUNDS.

When sweet young Chloe, everybody's favorite nurse, dies in the recovery room after a routine appendectomy, nurse Adel Coutant's suspicions are aroused. It's the third sudden death among the hospital staff in a year, and Adel is certain one of her coworkers is behind the onslaught. But who in this pressure-cooker workplace—where drugs, sex, and odd spiritual practices serve to ease tension—bears the mark of true madness? As Adel starts probing, the fever of fear soars, and a brilliant maniac watches and waits. . . .
