Nelly's Case — Andy Siegel

When Tug Wyler first sees Nelly Rivera, she lies helpless in a hospital bed. Once sassy, active and ambitious, she's now a young woman with an uncertain future, clenching to life.

Discovering exactly what happened to her in a dental office and who was responsible, is just one of Tug's goals. For he soon learns Nelly has recently inherited a hefty sum from her late father's life insurance. Which definitely complicates matters given her stepsister Jessie -- the only person in the room at the time of the overdose -- is Nelly's sole heir.

With razor-sharp intuition, Tug determinedly works his way through a maze of well-kept secrets, family and otherwise, to secure justice. The closer Tug gets to the truth, the more elusive it becomes until the books harrowing ending.
