A mysterious illness is attacking new mothers, its root cause unknown. It's fast. It's deadly. And it may not be random.

An outbreak of a new illness involving women who are all one-month postpartum leads a colleague to call on Drs. Shaw and Wyatt. When the high-profile daughter of the Governor becomes a victim of this seemingly random ailment, their unique mystery-solving skills are caught in the spotlight.

In their race to save the women, they uncover odd similarities amongst the mothers that point to disturbing conclusions about its root cause. The more they learn, the more dangerous and involved the situation becomes. And when related parties are found murdered, they must race against time to uncover the truth.

But with an increasing number of lives on the line, can they unwind the twisted knot before it's too late?

Sinister by Design, the nail-biting fourth book in the Madison Shaw and Jack Wyatt medical mystery series by Gary Birken, M.D., is perfect for fans of intricate plots, surprising twists, and chillingly authentic medical content.

Flesh and Blood: A Scarpetta Novel
<p>It's Dr. Kay Scarpetta's birthday, and she's about to head to Miami for a vacation with Benton Wesley, her FBI profiler husband, when she notices seven pennies on a wall behind their Cambridge house. Is this a kids' game? If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and so shiny they could be newly minted? Her cellphone rings, and Detective Pete Marino tells her there's been a homicide five minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has heard or seen a thing.</p><p>In this 22nd Scarpetta novel, the master forensic sleuth finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood.</p><p>Includes an exclusive excerpt from the riveting next novel in the Kay Scarpetta series, DEPRAVED HEART.</p>
