When Jessica Fletcher's favorite gin rummy partner, Mimi Van Dorn, checks into the private hospital that's just opened up shop in town, it's just for a simple procedure—one that leads inexplicably to Mimi's death. Seeking justice, Jessica decides to pursue her own investigation on the hospital and its shadowy business dealings. On the trail of what initially appears to be medical malpractice, Jessica digs deeper and learns her friend was actually a victim of something far more sinister. Death is bad for business, but murder is even worse, and Jessica will find plenty of both as she races to bring down this hospital before someone else flatlines.
