Publisher Description
A SCALPEL WIELDING VILLAIN.
A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THAT FAILS.
A WHISTLEBLOWER THAT PROTECTS HER PATIENTS – NO MATTER THE COSTS.
Trusted anesthesiologist, Dr. Roxanne Roth, is healing from the loss of her fiancé by consuming her time with work. It doesn't hurt that her new love interest, Dr. Justin Kirkland, spends almost as much time at the hospital as she does.
Entranced in the throes and complications of new love, Roxanne looks forward to work every day. Her time at the hospital would almost be cathartic if not for Dr. D.K. Webb, a neurosurgeon, who is quickly amassing a pile of complaints – and bodies.
Despite trying to avoid Webb, Roxanne finds herself working alongside the doctor during a routine, low-risk surgery. Fueled by cocaine and ego, Webb intentionally sabotages the case, leading to the patient dying on the operating table.
Roxanne's tenuous grip on recovery is shattered with her patient's death, quickly replaced by anger and a drive for justice. Now Roxanne will do anything to protect her patients from the killer on the other side of the sterile surgical field—before he can silence her as well.
Fans of Tess Gerritsen and Kelly Parsons will love this gripping medical romantic thriller from debut author Shira Shiloah.

Kept me on my toes with twists and turns I didn’t expect. The right amount of suspense concludes with justice and consequence. Shiloh has a gift for storytelling.
Exciting Medical Thriller
Emergence is a page turner with nicely developed characters and a thrilling plot. The author deftly uses her expert medical knowledge and ample literary skills to describe the hospital and the operating rooms with vivid, clear descriptions that transport the reader into dramatic surgical scenes. Emergence is well-written and contains some fantastic plot-twists both in and out of the operating room.
