Death Row

Kit Deleeuw, the Suburban Detective, has carved out an improbable career as a private eye amid the shopping malls and soccer fields of New Jersey. But his world is rocked when his best friend and mentor, Benchley Carrolton, suffers a stroke--and is swiftly carried off to Elston Manor, the most exclusive nursing home in town. Normally, Kit would feel his friend was in good hands. But Elston Manor's reputation has taken a macabre turn of late....

Kit will stop at nothing to get Benchley out of harm's way. But as he draws closer to finding out the truth behind Elston's sinister bedside manner, the powerful politician who owns the home starts pressuring Kit to back off--or else. Kit knows he has to act fast before more patients die--even if it means using unconventional investigative tactics that could land him in jail... or even in an early grave.
