  It's 1962, in Trinity, Nevada, a small town on the edge of the desert, home to a military base serving the nuclear testing grounds. 
   
   
   
  Van Lopez and his brother Andy have enough to do keeping their truck running and the local criminal gang happy to be concerned about nuclear tests. Van has dreams, or—he's not sure what to call them—that he cannot explain or forget, but when he sees mysterious lights in the sky, he struggles to make sense of what now feel like his earliest memories. 
   
   
   
  On the day of the atomic test, the nuclear blast brings down something over Trinity that wasn't supposed to be there—something not of this world. Now Van is running for his life, pursued by a murderous Soviet agent and government forces bent on keeping all he has seen from getting out. Romances and rivalries come to a head as he fights for the things he cares about most, and in that final battle he may have to make allies of his oldest enemies. 
   
   
   
  A thrilling new novel by the creators of Sekret Machines who, with the help of a team of government insiders, exposed the secret pentagon UFO program that captured America's attention and led to the first public congressional hearings about unidentified flying objects.

  On the night shift, death is scheduled. 
  When a "natural" passing on Ward C sets off a prickle of doubt, nurse Tessa Markov starts to see a chilling pattern: terminal patients are quietly reassigned to the same celebrated physician minutes before they flatline. Charts vanish. Codes arrive a little too late. Families are persuaded to sign what they don't fully understand. And the only other witness—a soft-spoken night janitor—saw something he shouldn't have. 
  As Tessa pulls at the threads, the hospital's routines turn into traps. Doors that should open don't. Alarms fail. Colleagues fall silent. Someone inside the system is practicing a perfect kind of murder—one that looks like mercy. And when a loved one lands in that doctor's care, Tessa's fight for the truth becomes a race against the clock. 
  Paging Doctor Death is a taut, claustrophobic medical thriller about power without oversight and the price of speaking up. If you crave relentless tension, a fearless heroine, and twist-knife reveals set in the fluorescent hush of a midnight ward, this pulse-pounding novel will keep you turning pages long past visiting hours. Read it for the razor-sharp stakes, stay for the final diagnosis you won't see coming.
