Millie Clemens believes that her husband has
been murdered while recovering from an
operation at Chelsea Memorial Hospital in
New Haven, Connecticut. Her irrational
claims are ignored--until another patient
dies, this time witnessed by the patient s
niece, who sees a nurse slip something into
the medication.
Edwina Crusoe worked at Chelsea
Memorial for fifteen years before becoming a
private nurse-consultant. The accused nurse,
Jillian Nash, is deeply troubled by private
matters, and Edwina s investigation turns up
more disturbing evidence. While the hospital
reels beneath the crush of sensational media
attention, Edwina quietly but thoroughly
pursues her own leads. Helped by Martin
Mclntyre, a homicide detective whose savvy
and sympathy provide different kinds of
support, Edwina uses her medical knowledge
to unwind a difficult knot of motives and
misalliances.
Rigor Morris is the second novel in a series
featuring Edwina Crusoe, by an author who
captures the pressure, private drama, and
even the humor of a busy hospital and the
people in it.
