Call Game - Paperback

"An exceptional debut novel full of intrigue, surprising twists, and medical stories portraying the drama found every day in the hospital." -Gary Gerlacher, Bestselling Author of the AJ Docker Series

Chief orthopedic resident, Dr. Rylan Fraser, knows she's in for a bad on-call night when she arrives in the trauma bay to find a young father barely holding on after a major motorcycle accident. It's the eve of Thanksgiving, so staffing is thin, but things slide further downhill when she learns her junior resident is AWOL and the blizzard raging outside has stranded her supervising attending in a roadside ditch. This means she must fly solo, breaking the established chain-of-command to perform a series of emergency operations she is almost-but-not-entirely qualified to do on her own. Just when she thinks things can't get any worse, they do. In between surgeries, Rylan is summoned to the ward to check on her post-op patients-only to find one after the other dead in their beds.

With stress levels skyrocketing, Rylan teams up with the friendly (and handsome) on-call psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Bennet, to puzzle out what's happening. Nothing is quite what it seems, though. As the night unfolds, Rylan and Paul are pulled deeper and deeper into a sick cat and mouse game in which their very own lives hang in the balance.
