Cryptic online messages and a murder in a swanky condo complex don't strike crime reporter Nichelle Clarke as related - until a gunman sends a hospital into chaos.

Perfect for fans of James Patterson, J. D. Robb, and Melinda Leigh.

When a body is discovered in a high-rise in Richmond, Virginia, crime reporter Nichelle Clarke races to the scene. The victim is a brilliant doctor with an unusual past. But before Nichelle can decide what to make of the murder, the local police radio is filled with a dreaded distress call.

There is an active shooter at a nearby hospital.

The gunman has taken hostages on a patient floor, and gives the police a single demand.

He wants to speak with Nichelle.

In person.
