The Imposter

Alexandra Destephano seriesbook 2 of 3Next:Viral Intent(2014) →

It is hotter than hell in New Orleans and newly promoted NOPD Commander Jack Francoise is battling horrific crime in the Vieux Carre in the August heat. At Crescent City Medical Center's Psychiatric Pavilion, nursing staff are constantly doling out Thorazine Slurpees and Geodon shots to some of the most criminally insane and viciously psychotic patients in the South. Alexandra Destephano, a registered nurse and legal counsel for CCMC, is concerned about inadequate staff and safety issues in The Pavilion. So, she enlists the help of her former husband, dashing surgeon Robert Bonnet, in her battle against Lester Whitset, the odd and often bizarre Pavilion administrator. In the meantime, staff and patients are being brutally beaten and killed at Crescent City Medical Center and Alex must set aside her feelings about the chronic understaffing at the hospital as she works with Jack, Robert, and others to bring the perpetrators to justice.
