Description: Product Description
When trauma nurse Timmie Parker moves from California to her old hometown in Missouri, it seems her hope for turning her life around will finally be realized: She is miles away from her bitter ex-husband, respected and admired by her new coworkers and renewing her ties to her family. Then the bodies begin to pile up.

Elderly patients from Restcrest, a highly regarded and innovative senior citizen care facility attached to the hospital, keep dying in her ER, and Timmie wants to know why.But when she tries to search for answers, she gets caught in a tangled mystery that seems dangerously linked to her new friends and to the welfare of her own father. She finds an ally in Daniel Murphy, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who offers her much-needed support. Together, they embark on an investigation that promises to send Murphy soaring to the top of his profession, but which also threatens to suck Timmie into a deadly conspiracy that could cost her not only her job and peace of mind, but also her life.

Filled with the gripping emergency room details that could only come from a true insider of the medical profession, Brain Dead is a white-knuckle thriller guaranteed to keep readers spellbound until the very last page.


Amazon.com Review
Puckett, Missouri has something to hide and nurse Timmie Leary is on the case in Eileen Dreyer's Brain Dead. Back in her hometown of Puckett to care for her ailing father, Timmie takes a job with Memorial Hospital, where the bodies are piling up at an alarming rate. Patients from Restcrest, the hospital's senior-care facility, are dropping like flies, but not from old age. The deaths are unexplainable and Timmie suspects the worst. She enlists the help of semi-retired journalist Dan Murphy, and together the two uncover enough suspects and motives to fill Puckett's town hall. Is there an "angel of mercy" at work, or does Puckett have a serial killer on the loose? This superb medical thriller, packed with dark humor and gripping suspense, will leave readers anything but brain dead!
