The Night Nurse
a massage therapy thriller
“OH. MY. GOD. ITS FABULOUS. Plot, characters, intrigue, evil and good and your descriptive eloquence. Absolutely smashing novel.” – Courtney Allen, Bacchus Books
He’s the only one who can see the pattern behind his patients’ deaths. Now the night nurse knows who he is.
Jackson sees patterns – the sway of trees, the flow of traffic, the design of the human body. His condition makes him a brilliant massage therapist, but once put him in a locked psych ward. Now he sees a pattern behind his elderly patients’ deaths.
Wendy loves her nursing work. She knows a hundred ways to remove her patients from their pain. She’s never been caught: Rule Three says When They Suspect, Move West.
Jackson’s friends think he’s slipping. The police don’t believe him. But he can’t stand by and do nothing while more patients die.
Wendy is horrified that someone knows about her secret work in the night. But she’ll never stop. And she’s in Vancouver, all the way west. There’s nowhere left to run.
As their paths spiral closer, neither can let the other go. Jackson has to let the patterns take him, learn to use them as a weapon—or lose everything to The Night Nurse.
A propulsive debut thriller from Tony Berryman—a story of a reluctant hero, an angel of death, and the value of a slim thread of trust. The Night Nurse is the first book of his Massage Therapy Thriller series.
