Critical Condition

By Richard L. Mabry, M.D.
Dr. Frasier couldn’t save the gunshot victim on her front lawn. Now she’s fighting for her own life.
It began as a quiet dinner party honoring Dr. Shannon Frasier’s colleague, but became a nightmare when a man was shot on her lawn, reviving emotions from a similar episode a decade ago. Then a midnight call from her sister, Megan, causes Shannon to fear that her sister is on drugs again.
Her “almost-fiancé” Dr. Mark Gilbert’s support only adds to Shannon’s feelings of guilt, since she can’t bring herself to fully commit to him. She turns for help to her pastor-father, only to learn that he’s just been diagnosed with leukemia. Shannon thought it couldn’t get any worse. Then the late-night, threatening phone calls begin, the rough voice asking, “What did he say before he died?”
With everything around her in a critical state, simply staying alive will require all the resources and focus Shannon has.
ISLAND BREEZES
If you’re ready for a heart pounding, adrenalin pumping read, Dr. Mabry can always oblige. Critical Condition starts off with a murder on Dr. Frasier’s front lawn and continues with misdeeds by her sister, her father battling cancer, threatening phone calls, mysterious numbers, good cops, bad cops and a kidnapping among other things to keep the pages turning as fast as a person can read.
This is not a book you can put down and then pick back up in a day or two. Dr. Mabry doesn’t write that kind of book. Start it early in the day, because you won’t sleep until you’ve finished this book.
This nurse hates to have to wait until Dr. Mabry’s next book comes out. Hurry, please, Doctor. Write as rapidly as you can.
