Lethal Resuscitation

Dr. Cathy Moreland, a physician working in rural Scotland, travels to a country hotel to take part in an advanced life support course, expecting a few days of professional training. The mood among her fellow medical practitioners is soon strained, and the equipment designed to keep patients alive is turned into a murder weapon against an irritable doctor. He is not the last person to die.

While the deaths unfold, menacing notes are delivered to the course attendees. One accuses Cathy of an unethical act from her past. As she looks into who is sending the notes and who is responsible for the killings, she must work out which member of the group has broken a promise to protect patients from harm. Mairi Chong, author of Shooting Pains, sets this mystery at the conference.
