A.J. Bullough
Mannequin Morgue
In medicine, first do no harm, in murder leave no trace.
At Mount Louis General Hospital, the dead don’t always stay quiet. When a dying veteran falls from the roof, the hospital calls it suicide. Homicide Detective Croft calls it murder. Dr. Ava Powers came for the job interview that could save her future—until she becomes the witness a powerful institution needs silenced. As missing camera footage, sealed medical records, and a celebrity sentenced to morgue duty collide, Powers and Croft uncover a killer using medicine as revenge.
Set against pandemic-era New York, Mannequin Morgue is a dark, fast, and wickedly original medical crime thriller about ambition, corruption, and the secrets buried where no one thinks to look—among the dead.
