[Paramedic Anneliese Ashmore Mysteries 01] • Fatal Reaction

The investigation into an apparent suicide reveals the dark side of medical research and physical attraction when during a slow night on duty paramedic Ana Ashmore drives past a crime scene not broadcast on her first-responder’s radio. Curious as to why, she stops to help, quickly realizing why she’d been excluded from the call. Her sister Sydney’s body has been found and the police believe her death is self-inflicted.

A soon-to-be-divorcee who recently underwent life saving surgery, Sydney planned a fresh start, a career change, and in spite of the procedure that rendered her sterile, to adopt and become a mother. The more Ana sees the future through her sister’s eyes, the more certain she becomes that she wouldn’t have taken her own life. But she needs proof.

Ana investigates with the help of Dr. Jared Monroe, an emergency room physician indirectly tied to the case, and the two develop a complicated attraction. Working against time, the police, and a corrupt healthcare system, Ana and Jared aren’t only looking for the cause of Sydney’s death. They’re looking to save others from her fate. Closing in on the killer’s identity, either of them might be next.
