On the verge of homelessness after her father’s death, young nurse Della King is deeply grateful to land a job at the famous Baker Hospital in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, but what appears to be her salvation—and the salvation of desperate, terminally ill patients from all over America—is something much darker.
As Della’s suspicions grow, she’s torn between her own survival and her professional duty. Baker is a powerful man and he’ll go to disturbing lengths to keep his terrible secret, but when her beloved patients begin to die, Reba must risk everything to save them.
