Family Practice — Charlene Weir

FAMILY PLANNING

Once again, murder hits close to home for Kansas police chief Susan Wren. This time an eleven-year-old girl in Susan's care is critically wounded when Dr. Dorothy Barrington, the eldest of the four Barrington physicians in family practice, is gunned down in her own office.

As her only witness struggles for each breath in hospital, Susan's investigation opens a Pandora's box of dark, tormented secrets in the prominent, respected Barrington family. A second life is claimed, followed by a third, and the former big-city cop must follow a grisly trail to a truth as tragic as the crimes.
