Bone Set Half-Dozen
(2019)(A book in the Gina Mazzio series)
An omnibus of novels by Bette Golden Lamb and J J Lamb
Meet RN Gina Mazzio, a feisty, determined, tenacious, and all ballsy Italian ex-Bronxite. Compassionate to most, downright lethal to those who would harm her patients. This is an action-packed, shocking, take-no-prisoners series about the dark rough and tumble side of the medical profession and its adjuncts.
Mazzio is sometimes battered, but never daunted in her life-threatening pursuit of individuals and groups who would do harm to her patients and co-workers. This action-packed, shocking, take-no-prisoners medical thriller series is definitely not for the faint of heart. Fans of the more hard-boiled medical thrillers will eat it up, as will lovers of, strong women sleuths, hospital mysteries, and all medical fiction, especially fans of Tess Gerritsen, Carolyn McCray, Eileen Dreyer, Lisa Genova, and Robin Cook.
Murder, mayhem, and Mazzio travel at lightning speed in all six of these Bone Series Medical Thrillers from the Lambs. Medical thriller "not for the squeamish."-Publishers Weekly.
BONE DRY (#1)
Carl Chapman, a young man with an excellent prognosis, dies--and Gina knows he shouldn't have. Another patient's acting weird and desperate; a third, a teen-ager, has actually run away. Gina soon learns Carl's cancer treatment has gone missing, in fact finds out her patients are being subjected to a form of blackmail so diabolical Hannibal Lecter could have dreamed it up.
SIN AND BONE (#2)
"Help me quit killing redheads." That's the plea RN Gina Mazzio hears when she gets an anonymous call the night before her wedding. The cops say it's a crank call. Her fiance says she's altar-shy. Her fellow workers call her "silly." But Gina's got a bad feeling... then she plunges into the dark world of the black market trade in human body parts.
BONE PIT (#3)
Why does a hospital need bars on the windows? And why is the parking lot empty? As RNs Gina Mazzio and her fiance Harry Lucke arrive for their new assignment as travel nurses, they suddenly have the chilling feeling of being about to enter a Stephen King novel - why does the hospital have with no windows on the first floor and barred windows on the second story.
BONE of CONTENTION (#4)
Gina returns to Ridgewood Hospital after a near-death experience while working with fiance Harry Lucke as travel nurses. Now, she's assigned to the Ob/Gyn Women's Health Clinic. An outbreak of mystifying post-abortion deaths among Clinic patients puts Gina on the trail of unknown perpetrators. Her relentless investigation soon makes her the target of a fanatical couple who kidnap and attempt to kill her to keep from being found out.
BONE DUST (#5)
An influenza epidemic slams San Francisco, pushing medical facilities to and beyond normal limits. The chaos masks deadly blood-letting by a sociopathic hospital phlebotomist. Gina, distracted by a serious breakup with her longtime fiance, Harry Lucke, and on the brink of a new romance, misreads the full danger of a stalking that leads to the murder of another Internal Medicine nurse. Gina's investigation into the killing of the nurse, along with trying to find out why flu patients are dying unexpectedly, makes her the new prime target of the phlebotomist stalker.
BONE CRACK (#6)
RN Gina Mazzio and her long-time love, Harry Lucke, are deep into marriage plans when a particularly nasty murder intervenes - the bookkeeper in their friend Lolly's office has been raped and carved up. The worst part? The carving occurred before the murder. Lolly suspects her cardiologist boss, Dr. Mort Tallent, is involved. And since Gina helped her friend get "the job of a lifetime," she jumps right into the fire.
