Emergence

by Shira Shiloah

Overview

A SCALPEL WIELDING VILLAIN.
A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT FAILS.
A WHISTLEBLOWER THAT PROTECTS HER PATIENTS – NO MATTER THE COSTS.

Trusted anesthesiologist, Dr. Roxanne Roth, is healing from the loss of her fiancé by consuming her time with work. It doesn't hurt that her new love interest, Dr. Justin Kirkland, spends almost as much time at the hospital as she does.

Entranced in the throes and complications of new love, Roxanne looks forward to work every day. Her time at the hospital would almost be cathartic if not for Dr. D.K. Webb, a neurosurgeon, who is quickly amassing a pile of complaints – and bodies.

Despite trying to avoid Webb, Roxanne finds herself working alongside the doctor during a routine, low-risk surgery. Fueled by cocaine and ego, Webb intentionally sabotages the case, leading to the patient dying on the operating table.

Roxanne's tenuous grip on recovery is shattered with her patient's death, quickly replaced by anger and a drive for justice. Now Roxanne will do anything to protect her patients from the killer on the other side of the sterile surgical field—before he can silence her as well.

Fans of Tess Gerritsen and Kelly Parsons will love this gripping medical romantic thriller from debut author Shira Shiloah.

Editorial Reviews

"In this debut thriller, a Memphis anesthesiologist suspects a neurosurgeon of intentionally harming--and sometimes killing--patients... a tense medical tale."

--Kirkus

"Anesthesiologist Shira Shiloah takes an almost unthinkable premise and weaves a haunting tale. A scalpel-wielding villain, a failed health care system, and a whistleblower that protects her patients. With unexpected twists and satisfying drama, a neurosurgeon casually cuts and kills patients in a modern-day Memphis hospital. You'll never look at your own surgeon the same way."

--Robert Dugoni, New York Times and #1 Amazon bestselling author

"Shiloah's debut medical romantic thriller weaves romance and suspense into a contemporary drama about new beginnings... Great for fans of Kelly Parsons's Doing Harm, [and] Tess Gerritsen."

--BookLife

"EMERGENCE is an unusual and first-rate thriller."

--John Hough, Jr, author of Little Bighorn and Seen the Glory: A Novel of the Battle ofGettysburg

"Dr. Shira Shiloah draws from her medical insight and experience to take the reader on a thriller journey behind the locked doors of operating rooms and clinics."

--Henry Jay Przybylo, MD, MFA, and author of Counting Backwards
