Four murders committed in as many days in the small town of Hopewell, Virginia, are turning Police Detective James Hardrock's nice, quiet, orderly world upside down. The victims, two males and two females, have their clothes switched. The men are wearing the women's clothes; the women are wearing the men's clothes. Before Hardrock can discover the identities of the victims and the bizarre reason for the switch in clothes, one of Hardrock's lead detectives, Harry Ralston, disappears A background file check on his colleague only raises more questions. And why has the F.B.I. suddenly become interested in the murders and the disappearance of Detective Ralston? Forced at gunpoint to become a pawn in the killer's scheme of revenge is Janet Gordon, Hardrock's beautiful, widowed neighbor, and occasional Saturday-night date. Although lately Hardrock has begun to think of her as more than just another dinner companion. As Hardrock puts his own life on the line in a bold rescue attempt, he realizes that for the first time in his life, he's in love. Drawn into a web of danger and deceit, Hardrock is convinced that the answers he needs to solve the case lie with his missing detective. He has only to find Harry and catch a killer at the same time...before he and Janet become the killer's next victims.

Towards the emancipation of patients: Patients' experiences and the patient movement

Despite a policy focus on involving patients in health care and increasing patient autonomy, much covert coercion of patients takes place in everyday healthcare. This book, by a leading patient activist, examines for the first time how the patient movement, which works to improve the quality of healthcare, can actually be considered an emancipation movement when led by its radical elements. In this highly original book the author argues that radical patient groups and individual activists who repeatedly challenge or oppose some standards in healthcare, can be seen as working in the direction of freeing patients from coercion and from its associated injustice and inequality. Combining new academic theory with rich empirical evidence, the book explains how looking at healthcare from an emancipatory perspective could improve its quality as patients experience it. It will appeal to health professionals, managers, patient activists, policy makers and others concerned with the quality of healthcare.
