Match: A Medical Murder Mystery

What do politics, living donor kidney transplants, and the current opioid crisis all have in common?

Sarah Golden and Jackie Larsen, best friends since nursing school, could
never have imagined that they’d end up as amateur sleuths searching to
find a killer--for the second time! Jackie, a stay-at-home mom with
marriage troubles, is racing the clock to get her young son, Wyatt, a
living kidney donor to avoid the ravages of dialysis. Sarah, who has
been living her career in the fast-paced world of organ transplantation,
is helping expedite Wyatt’s kidney transplant. Then a much-despised
hospital colleague turns up dead of an opiate overdose--despite the fact
that she’d never used drugs--and Sarah smells foul play. Her curiosity
and tenacity pull Jackie, once again, into a life-and-death adventure
that neither woman could have expected.

Armed with smarts, tenacity, big hearts, and their raucous senses of
humor, the pair gets the help of a few colorful friends to pursue the
killer and take on the mission in the only style they both know how:
straight on and arm-in-arm as the friends they’ve always been.
