The Nurse at Baker Hospital will be released in October, 2026
​
Author of AMAH & THE SILK WINGED PIGEONS and THE ENVY OF PARADISE, Jocelyn Cullity’s THE NURSE AT BAKER HOSPITAL is a mystery based on a true story — the Ozarks’ version of THE GOOD NURSE — in which a young woman uncovers the dark secrets of a Depression-era cancer hospital and the mesmeric man behind them.
​
Inspired by the true story of Norman Baker, America’s King of the Quacks.
“An engrossing story that exposes past medical fraud at an astonishing level.” — Kirkus Reviews
​
"Drawing on primary resources, the novel meets the highest standards of historical fiction while reading with the urgency of a thriller. Though the events are rooted in the past, the lessons they offer are not merely relevant—they are urgently so."
— Donna Meredith / Editor, Southern Literary Review
