About this ebook

Two prominent medical malpractice attorneys are dead.

Can you imagine the stuff flowing downhill into Detective Lynch Cully’s lap?

From his lieutenant’s office. From his chief’s office. The mayor’s office. The governor.

He’s already facing the toughest case of his career: a serial assailant who leaves his victims unable to testify.

Are these cases related? 

Has the perpetrator upped his game?

Amy Gibbs, RN is a newly recruited med-evac flight nurse who left the ER, its stress, and memories of a certain detective behind. 

On one fateful call, she hears the deathbed confession of a man whom police are seeking as a person of interest in the attacks. 

Within hours, the lives of Amy Gibbs and Lynch Cully intertwine in a story that unravels a web of identity theft, electronic eavesdropping, and stalking amid a confusion of identities.

Can Lynch move one step ahead of this killer? Or is the distraction—of a girlfriend he regrets leaving—too much?

A great thriller? Bodies-yes. Plot twists-yes. Reading past your bedtime-yes. See why so many readers have discovered the MedAir Series. Download Looks that Deceive now, but be forewarned: it won't cure your insomnia.

Ratings and reviews

There is a kernel of a good story in there but itis swamped by too much verbosity. I got quarter of the way way through and found myself skipping whole pages. My advice to the author is GET TO THE POINT!

I was rather disappointed at the end, after soaring so high throughout the book..Even it may not be a HEA and a cliffhanger ,the end is just terrible.

Excellent book. Characters are well developed, and make you want to cheer (and boo!) for them. The ending was a cliffhanger, which I hope will be satisfied in the upcoming books. This was also a good "whodunit" thriller that kept me on my toes as I read. I will certainly continue with this series because I enjoyed this book so much.
