About this listen
This book is the sequel to Crematorium.
Maggie Bennett, the dedicated Clinical Nurse Supervisor of a bustling metropolitan emergency department, finds herself thrust into a perilous situation that jeopardizes both her career and her freedom. The night shift takes a treacherous twist when the level-one trauma center becomes the target of a brazen robbery that turns deadly. Maggie is the only witness. The weight of a homicide investigation bears down on her as authorities question her involvement in the heist.
Driven by an unwavering determination to clear her name and unmask the truth, Maggie embarks on a relentless pursuit of justice. Benny Maxwell, her co-worker friend, joins her on her journey. With each step forward, the hunt grows perilous, transforming into a cat-and-mouse chase. The shadows deepen, revealing a disturbing pattern of orchestrated deception. Bodies accumulate, purposefully strewn in her path, while false evidence is cunningly planted to ensure that the gaze of homicide remains fixed upon her.
Amidst the turbulence of her professional ordeal, Maggie's personal world turns upside down. Earlier during her shift, Maggie’s glamorous sister-in-law and renowned Hollywood actress Annella Wryn arrives in the emergency room in grave condition, injured from a fall on a movie set. Doctor Glenn Sloan, aware of the deep bond he shares with Annella, senses a sinister undercurrent as her co-star, the equally famous Chase Hayworth, declares himself to be Annella’s new husband. Maggie and Doctor Sloan know the truth — Annella is in love with Glenn, and they secretly planned to wed.
As Annella teeters on the edge of life and death, her condition perplexes the medical team, raising suspicions of foul play. Maggie, fueled by her unwavering loyalty and instinct for the truth, vows to untangle the enigma shrouding Annella's fluctuating state of consciousness before it's too late.
Meanwhile, in a secluded cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Benny's beloved wife, Nurse Willow Maxwell grapples with her own harrowing ordeal. Trapped in the clutches of unknown assailants, her life hangs precariously in the balance. With each passing day, her spirit weakens under the weight of uncertainty, locked away in an isolated cabin far from the reach of help or hope. Fear gnaws at her, mingling with the ominous question of her captors' intentions — will they release her, or will her existence end in darkness?
As the parallel narratives unfold, a tapestry of intertwined lives, secrets, and imminent danger takes shape. Maggie races against time, driven by her quest for redemption and the pursuit of justice. Willow's very survival teeters on a knife's edge, her fate precariously entwined with unseen forces. In their separate yet entangled battles, the resilience of these remarkable women is tested, their paths converging in unexpected ways, and the outcome will alter the course of their lives forever.
