Someone Has to Die — Timothy Sheard

A nurse accused of the wrongful death of her patient swears she is innocent, but the only one who believes her is a co-worker, who enlists the help of James Madision's fearless union steward and amateur detective, Lenny Moss. But Lenny has his hands full -- The Croesus Medical Group, the new hospital owner, is threatening to withdraw contributions to the union's health and pension benefit fund. If they stop making payments, the fund will become insolvent and all the workers, active and retired, will lose their benefits. For many of them, it would be a death sentence. Fighting the new administration, Lenny barely has time to investigate the mysterious death -- until he finds himself with more time on his hands that he ever expected to have in the 7th exciting Lenny Moss mystery.
