Marjory Ellen Mosen was not the first and will not be the last.
Across the county, patients with late-stage cancers are dying sooner than expected. The victims are murdered - shot in the heart with a small caliber round. Detectives are stumped because there are no bullet fragments or DNA at the scene of the murders. Somehow, the murderer, or murderers, extract the bullets and hide their identity.
The long-term care and hospice facilities are at a loss to explain how, or why, their patients are being killed. Some families consider it a mercy their loved one no longer suffers.
Rural communities are known for keeping their secrets, even murders. Carin Trimble is Marble Grove's newly promoted detective. Skeptically, she is talked into looking at the pattern of deaths.
Convinced an active serial killer exists, the Nursing Home Murders are the young detective's ticket out of the limbo of being a small-town detective.
"There is no app for fixing pain. The tools we need to cope with pain are in our heads."
Desperately searching for answers, Carin learns that no one in her community is who they seem -
can she trust the information from someone on the suspect list?
