“Being a seasoned traveler and now a resident of Italy, this heartwarming story taught me a great deal about Italy—interesting facts I didn’t know. I enjoyed following Margie on Facebook during this adventure, but reading this book made the circle complete. A wonderful story I can relate to as a grandparent and one I would like to emulate myself one day. This book is about the joy of discovery and the bonds of family, making it a delightful easy read.”
~ Ilene Modica, co-author of Our Italian Journey

“Paced like a roller-coaster ride, Absolute Revenge invokes the inner workings of a critical care unit coupled with the deranged mind of a serial criminal that races through a tale of vengeance, duplicity, and betrayal—tempered with a touch of romance—in a mad dash from its hospital setting in Miami to the splendors of Italy that will keep you turning pages late into the night.”
~ Karen Neary Smithson, Author of the Beth Getty Mystery Series

A Cure for Deceit, my second novel and a sequel to Critical Cover-Up, is another gripping medical thriller.

When a top surgeon begins to crack under stress in his personal life, and patients start to die, suspicions surface at a San Francisco hospital. A sudden spike in patient deaths drives an impassioned ICU nurse to launch a clandestine investigation, targeting a powerful cardiac surgeon whose corrupt connections could destroy her career.

Although this is a work of fiction, the medical scenes are accurate portrayals of real-life critical care situations. As a critical care nurse for my entire nursing career, I’ve worked with some of the best healthcare professionals, and have seen plenty.

Available in paperback and Kindle formats

and now also as an audiobook
