Praise for The Pain Nurse...
"Talton writes with pace, emotion, and humanity....The Pain Nurse is a thrilling, one-session read."
-Michael Palmer,
New York Times bestselling author of The First Patient

Cheryl Beth Wilson, an elite nurse at Cincinnati Memorial Hospital, finds a doctor brutally murdered in a secluded office. Wilson had been having an affair with the doctor's surgeon husband, which makes her a person of interest to the police, if not an outright suspect. But it's not just the cops who are watching Cheryl Beth.
Then another killing occurs. As former homicide detective Will Borders' stretcher is wheeled past the crime scene, he knows this is no random act of violence. It has all the marks of a serial killer case he supposedly solved years earlier. Unable even to walk, Borders starts to investigate, teaming up with Cheryl Beth, who is desperate to clear her name. But as the city teeters on the edge of violence and a killer grows closer, the two are running out of time....
