Description

Maggie O'Brien, a nurse and medic on a SWAT team, has a thirst for justice, and a chip on her shoulder. She lives in the shadow of her father, a famous (or infamous) cop. Is she more like him than she wants to admit? The question hits home when Maggie feels the desire - as all police, nurses, doctors and medics sometimes do - to dispense her own brand of justice. Soon she finds evidence that someone else may be acting on the same desire. Her search for the truth is a searing tour through the show more shades of gray between the impulse to heal and the urge to punish. show less

Maggie O'Brien is an ER nurse, a paramedic, and the newest member of the SWAT team. Her life is filled with characters, from her publicly respected, affable, privately abusive drunken former cop father, to her most trusted friend/lover. It's a very busy life which she mostly enjoys - until bad guys start dying more often than they should and she wonders if it's coincidental.

Maggie O'Brien, SWAT medic and ED trauma nurse, questions the death of a psychotic former FBI agent who died from superficial wounds. As she begins to notice other suspicious deaths, they all seem to be people on the List. A List that Maggie assumed was a list of people who frustrated the staff, but now seems to include people who are criminals also, but who also came to the hospital for medical attention, many through ED. But as Maggie investigates, more people die and now, it seems, that someone is trying to make it look like Maggie is the guilty one. Maggie's investigation leaves her with few people to trust. This was a suspense filled plot with a heroine with guts but not foolish. She's a woman who has had to deal with a violent show more father and who abhors violence. A well done thriller. show less
First book I have read by this author. The book was a good read. I just wanted to keep reading just to find out who the bad guys/s were. Will definitely read more books by Eileen
There was an AWFUL lot going on in this book. And I'm still wondering how one person can hold down three crazy critical jobs and still have time for hot, break-the-furniture sex. Hmm.
