Working in the ER of a small South Carolina hospital, Dr. Rhea Lynch has seen it all—most of it at 2:00 a.m. But when an interracial couple is rushed in, beaten and bloodied by a mysterious hate group, the patients show signs of a fast-acting pulmonary infection Rhea has never seen before. Within hours, it proves fatal.

Soon, more victims are rushed in, and an epidemic has Dawkins County in an icy grip of terror. As the puzzling illness claims more lives by the hour, Rhea begins to draw some startling conclusions about the nature of the illness . . . and about its connections to the military.

How could something like this have happened in this peaceful community? Can it be stopped? Every second counts as Rhea desperately tries to fit the pieces together—and soon realizes that she is dealing with something bigger and more terrifying than she could ever imagine.

Praise for the Rhea Lynch, M.D. novels

Move over Robin Cook and Echo Heron! I had to stop reading a few times to calm myself down! My mother would call this exciting novel a WOO-WOO! ("Wow" and "Lu-Lu" mixed.) You will not be able to turn the pages fast enough. Here is a novel that I highly recommend to everyone! A KEEPER!
—Detra Fitch, Huntress Book Reviews

Hunter's exciting tale, told in first person, pulls readers into a strong woman's fight for friendship. Her heroine is well developed and inspirational—not in her perfection, but in fighting through her weaknesses.
—Debbie Richardson, Romantic Times

I like Hunter's new style. I know she's not really a doctor, she just writes about one. But after reading Delayed Diagnosis, I think I'll list her as my primary care physician with my insurance company.
—Ann Patterson, Spartanburg Herald-Journal

Hunter does everything right in this novel. Her pacing is great, scenes shift seamlessly, dialogue is crisp, often humorous and always to the point. Her character definition is complex and her plot development is logical.
—Thea Davis, The Mystery Reader

I fully enjoyed Prescribed Danger and recommend it to fans of suspense thrillers. Romance fans should be made aware that, while there is a budding romance or two in the novel, nothing is resolved between the romantic couples, and the focus is not on the romantic aspects of the story but on the suspense. This was my first book by Ms. Hunter, but it most certainly won't be my last. I look forward to reading the previous and future novels about Dr. Rhea Lynch.
