Author Description

Cincinnati Sinai Hospital is both a stand alone novel and also the first installment of the Cincinnati Sinai Series.His sister was tortured and murdered by a perp who then "walked" on a legal technicality. For the last nine years, he has promised himself that if this man enters Sinai Hospital, he will delete him from the land of the living, renouncing his Hippocratic oath just this once, in order to correct a burning injustice. Funny thing about ideas, they are more infectious than any virus at a hospital and they replicate themselves in ways that can't be predicted. Nick Fuller is an uber smart Respiratory Therapist, a self-styled Moses and an informal leader in his department. Rex, his director despises his arrogance, but has respect for his standards and skills. Nick will not tolerate those who are stupid in dealing with the sick. After all, it's "human life" right? Nick leads a cadre of quality therapists who teach "the arts" within the story line. Nick's quick reminders are what he calls "laws." They serve as an undefeatable code of conduct, safe practice and an overall explanation for the absurdities of medicine. His mentor, Al brings vast experience as does Fatima, a Muslim woman whose husband is traveling further into Islam beyond anything American culture might accept. Naomi Hathaway was trained by Nick and Al. Clinically astute, she is a sweet and pure farm girl. Her ambition is to move into management. Her main competitor is Zoe whose suspicious nature would make her a great detective, for she studies all cues and clues. Operating in Nick's blind spot, Zoe sees many coincidences around unexpected deaths that fuel her suspicions. Her scrutiny increases as she learns that the President of The United States is returning to his home town to visit his aging mother who is ill. And Nick? He loathes President Thayer with a passion. What intrigue will be discovered inside Sinai where germs, genius, deceit and stupidity all labor side by side?
