Editing clients publish latest crime thriller

Two recent editing clients of mine, Karl Bort and Thekla Madsen, have published their latest crime thriller, “Angry Nurse.” When wealthy Cleveland businessman David Feighan is admitted to St. Luke’s Behavioral Health Unit in a catatonic state, he “miraculously” recovers in the presence of Nurse Joshua Ramsey. David insists his wife, lawyer and the hospital administrator are plotting to have him permanently committed and implores Joshua to help him. Are these the ravings of an insane man or is something more sinister at work? When David’s wife and lawyer are found dead, Detective Nicholas Silvano gets the case. The husband is usually the first suspect, but David has a solid alibi – he’s locked up at St. Luke’s. The investigation stalls...until a crayon drawing leads Nick back to St. Luke’s and a surprising new suspect. The novel is available online in paperback or ebook. You also can find out more about the authors and their great books on Facebook.
