The Angel of Death: A Novel of a Serial Killer Nurse - Paperback

He is the best nurse on the floor. Everyone says so.

When alarms sound in the small hours of the morning at Good Samaritan
Hospital on Long Island, Ricardo is always first through the door - calm,
skilled, indispensable. In seven months on the overnight ICU shift, he has
responded to thirty-seven code blue emergencies. What no one knows is that
one nurse has caused most of them.

Detective Lisa Moretti sees a pattern in the numbers that no one in the
hospital wants to acknowledge. Nurse Chantal Harper sees something in
Ricardo's eyes during a code that she cannot explain and cannot ignore. And
somewhere in a Bay Shore home, a retired longshoreman named Vincent Marotta
is remembering a night when his fingers went numb, what he did about it, and
the face of the man who stood over his IV line in the dark.

A riveting psychological thriller and a shattering portrait of
institutional betrayal, The Angel of Death spans thirty years - from
a boy watching his grandfather die to the ICU ward where that loss became
something monstrous. For readers of Tess Gerritsen, Alex Michaelides, and
The Good Nurse.

Inspired by the true story of Richard Angelo - the Long Island Good Samaritan Hospital
nurse convicted of murder in 1989, whose victims numbered among the most
vulnerable people in his care.

The Angel of Death: A Novel of a Serial Killer Nurse is the debut
thriller from Jack Brennan, published by Harbor Light Press.
