They say the cold-hearted Dr. Leslie Odom is guilty of murder for his brutal methods, and ask union shop steward Lenny Moss to investigate. But Lenny has his hands full dealing with the ungodly working conditions brought about by Philadelphia's raging heat wave and the hospital's antiquated air conditioning system. As employees in the laundry and kitchen pass out from the heat, the evidence piles up that Doctor Odom is indeed a monster with a sinister agenda. Lenny teams up with courageous medical student Kate Palmer and together they uncover even more disturbing facts about the women under Odom's care - facts that the hospital administration would prefer remain buried forever.

Will the dreaded chief of security Joe West finally eliminate Lenny Moss? Will the hospital cover up Odom's dirty deeds? Will the hospital workers in the laundry and kitchen survive the heat wave that is sending them to the emergency room? Find out in the third Lenny Moss crime novel, A Race Against Death.Timothy Sheard is a veteran critical care nurse with more than 35 years hospital experience. He resides in New York.
