When a young man dies suddenly after being told he had years to live, Detectives Sally Carter  and Dustin Frewer are called in to review what should have been a routine hospital death.At first, nothing stands out. The records are clean. The staff are respected. The explanation—advanced cancer—makes sense.Until it happens again.And again.Across two hospitals, patients with terminal diagnoses are deteriorating faster than they should. Each case looks medically explainable. Each death can be justified on paper. But the timing doesn't sit right—and neither does the silence between symptoms and death.As Sally and her partner, Dustin, dig deeper, the case begins to unravel. Drug records don't quite add up. Access logs reveal too many possibilities. Staff move between wards, between hospitals, between roles—always present, never suspicious.Because whoever is responsible doesn't stand out.They belong.What begins as a desperate request from one family becomes a hunt through a system built on trust—where access is easy, oversight is imperfect, and the line between care and harm can disappear without anyone noticing.And by the time the pattern is clear, it may already be too late to count the dead.
