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
