The Night Nurse

By Tony Berryman

A massage therapy thriller.

There's a pattern to everything. Even death.

A massage therapist who can't stop seeing patterns. A nurse who won't stop giving his patients the final mercy. Once their paths cross, neither can let the other go.

Jackson's hands and pattern sense tell him his patients are dying before their time. His friends think he might need the psych ward again. Wendy will never stop practicing her deadly craft, but she's tired of running. As their paths spiral together, Jackson must learn to accept his terrible gift and use his massage skills in new ways – or lose everything to the night nurse.

This medical thriller, featuring a serial killer nurse without peer, takes you inside the work of a traveling massage therapist as his obsession with patterns shows him the truth behind the deaths of his elderly patients.

Set against the backdrop of a strong Vancouver sense of place, with an explosive side plot, The Night Nurse pulls you into a wild, twisting ride where everything moves, but the patterns are there – for those with the eyes to see.
