The Night Clinic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917016414)

The system took his license. The shadows gave him a purpose.

Alex Mercer was an elite Army trauma surgeon, trained to save lives under fire in the deadliest combat zones on earth. But one choice on a distant battlefield cost him everything: his rank, his career, and his identity.

Now, he's a ghost in El Paso, working the dark underbelly of the Texas border.

No questions. No records. No mercy.

Alongside Maria, a nurse carrying her own buried secrets, Alex runs a secret, underground clinic. They treat the people who can't walk into an ER. The wounded, the desperate, and the dangerous. Alex believes in a simple code: a life is a life, and the Hippocratic oath has no exceptions.

But in the dark zones of the border, clinical neutrality is a death sentence.

While Alex focuses on saving lives, Maria begins to see the truth he ignores: the growing web of violence fueled by his steady hands. As a relentless detective pieces together a trail of cash and blood, and a cartel lieutenant moves to claim his asset, Alex faces a different kind of triage.

One where the wrong choice won't just end his life. It will destroy everything he's trying to protect.

What happens when saving a man's life is more dangerous than letting him die?
