Evelyn Sutcliffe is a second year emergency resident at University Hospital where she shares a deep relationship with a psychiatrist. Evelyn should be a happy person, but the idyllic picture conceals a confused, anxiety-laden woman.. Her lover freely boasts that he is seeing another woman. While Evelyn is on duty, a close friend, Dr. Shelley Reinish, is rushed to ER, but dies within an hour.
Her colleagues, friends, and the police believe that an overdose caused the death. However, Evelyn cannot accept that her vivacious friend would commit suicide. There are too many unanswered questions so the doctor decides to do a bit of sleuthing. However, the facts she learns about Shelley makes Evelyn wonder if she ever truly knew the deceased. As she peels away the layers to Shelley's inner core, Evelyn places herself in danger of joining her friend in the afterlife.
Fans who enjoy action thrillers or works of psychological suspense need to read BLOOD RUN. In reality, this novel is more a coming of age tale of a woman struggling with many flaws and fears. This mainstream flavored novel is a prequel to Leah Ruth Anderson's best seller FIRST CUT, making it a must read for fans of Dr. Sutcliffe.
