“Things get off to a macabre start in Timothy Sheard’s offbeat procedural... when a student at a Philadelphia teaching hospital identifies the cadaver she is dissecting in anatomy class as a medical resident she once slept with. Although hospital administrators are relieved when a troublesome laundry worker is charged with the murder, outraged staff members go to their union representative, a scrappy custodian named Lenny Moss, and ask him to find the real killer. Since there’s no merit to the case...Lenny is just wasting his time. But Sheard, a veteran nurse, makes sure that readers do not waste theirs. His intimate view of Lenny’s world is a gentle eye-opener into the way a large institution looks from a workingman’s perspective.”
