Sinopsis

A hospital administrator copes with chaos and death at his new job—but one act of terror will create an emergency he never imagined . . . Eastern College Hospital is on its third administrator in four years—and newly arrived Doug Carpenter is already finding it a challenge to provide quality care with the existing atmosphere of power struggles and greed. The combative environment obstructs any chance at a smooth-running operation and threatens Doug’s authority—but that’s not all. A patient commits suicide. A drunk anesthesiologist kills a mother during an emergency delivery. Several patients fall victim to an “angel of death,” and another is poisoned by an unscrupulous doctor. Then a union strike explodes into violence—and something much more precious to Doug than his career is endangered . . .

    December AD 192 The oldest bonds are the hardest severed.  
    When Fabio’s aunt Lucretia flexes her match-making muscles, he seeks escape from a marriage to shy, bored Adriane. Luckily, his friend Petros needs help investigating a possible rebellion in Vademlutra. All Fabio has to do is pretend to be poor and keep his wits about him.  
    Certain there’s nothing to investigate, Fabio settles down for a week in the tavern until a lost young woman in the woods captivates him. Where is she from and why is she so keen to die? Unaware of Fabio’s whereabouts,  
    Lucretia has her own reasons for being in Vademlutra. Hoping to enjoy a little flirting and a lot of money-making, she’s about to meet her match on both fronts and must scheme more than ever if she has any chance of keeping what’s rightfully hers.  
    As the town is cut off by snow, Dun the erstwhile grave-robber becomes convinced that diversifying was a bad idea.  
    But it takes an unexpected death to reveal a decades-old web of deceit and manipulation which threatens to engulf the whole town and make Adriane find enough courage to become involved. Who is behind the rebellion? And if they have blood on their hands, who is the next victim?  
    As Roman Saturnalia passes and the darker traditions of winter solstice approach, Fabio, Petros, Adriane and Dun must put aside their differences and work together to save not only another life but the whole town from Roman retribution.

    "Fans of the fourth season of True Detective, starring Jodie Foster and Kali Reis, will appreciate the moody ambience and subject matter; those left wanting more can explore the second volume of the Alex Desocarras series, Red Paint (2020) ... 
    “In Van Clieaf’s mystery series starter, the kidnapping of an Indigenous girl in rural Canada catapults a detective sergeant into an investigation involving corruption and human trafficking.  
    “This well-paced procedural, told from the perspective of the victims, police officers, and criminologists on the case, ties in stories of past and present abuse. After 11-year-old Carey Bolton is abducted from her hometown in northern British Columbia, her cousin, a student in Vancouver, enlists the help of Morgan O’Meara, a filmmaker and teacher of Anishinaabe and Irish heritage. Morgan and her partner, Lucas Arenas, who’s a Guatemalan immigrant of Ixil-Maya descent and professor of criminology, begin looking into the disappearance with and without the help of police. Things become dangerous for Morgan after she visits a seedy flophouse and a swanky members’ club; she survives an attack, thanks to a passerby who happens to be off-duty detective sergeant Alex Desocarras." - Kirkus Reviews
