Prescribed Danger - Paperback

by Gwen Hunter (Author)

Book 2 in the Rhea Lynch, M.D. Series Working in the ER of a small South Carolina hospital, Dr. Rhea Lynch has seen it all-most of it at 2:00 a.m. But when an interracial couple is rushed in, beaten and bloodied by a mysterious hate group, the patients show signs of a fast-acting pulmonary infection Rhea has never seen before. Within hours, it proves fatal. Soon, more victims are rushed in, and an epidemic has Dawkins County in an icy grip of terror. As the puzzling illness claims more lives by the hour, Rhea begins to draw some startling conclusions about the nature of the illness . . . and about its connections to the military. How could something like this have happened in this peaceful community? Can it be stopped? Every second counts as Rhea desperately tries to fit the pieces together-and soon realizes that she is dealing with something bigger and more terrifying than she could ever imagine.
