Meet Ladarat Patalung -- the first and only nurse detective in Thailand.
Two nights ago, a young woman brought her husband into the emergency room of the Sriphat Hospital in Thailand, where he passed away. A guard thinks she remembers her coming in before, but with a different husband -- one who also died.
Ladarat Patalung, for one, would have been happier without a serial murderer-if there is one -- loose in her hospital. Then again,she never expected to be a detective in the first place.
And now, Ladarat has no choice but to investigate. . .

“Kristin Kalibi is an excellent choice to narrate this title because of her accurate pronunciation of Thai words and names. Her accuracy lends authenticity to the backdrop of the story. Kalibi uses a gentle tone and low pitch to give voice to Ladarat’s internal monologue, reflecting the qualities of Ladarat’s personality. Chang Mai, Thailand, offers a new locale and a unique cast for fans of the mystery genre.”
