"The Bottom Line: A heart-pounding, adrenaline-spiking medical thriller that takes the series into new territory. Highly recommended."—Bestthrillers

Ex-cop Vance Courage is heading off for an island vacation when HIPP Corp’s CEO Sherry Rogers jets into Miami for a surprise meeting. An oncologist using her company’s electronic medical records software lost a patient during a routine chemotherapy infusion and the family is threatening to sue. Worried the business will be named in the lawsuit, she insists he go to Indianapolis to investigate. He can’t very well say no. He and his partner Lauren Gold recently invested 5-million of their own dirty dollars to save her company from bankruptcy.

The duo travel to Indy and attend a medical sales gala hoping the free flowing booze will loosen lips. But before dinner is served, Rogers tells him another doctor-client in Chicago lost a cancer patient in almost the exact same way. Could the link be a bad batch of drugs? Or something more nefarious?

With a freak late April snowstorm looming, they detour to the Windy City, shocked to discover the clinic is a front for a patient-dumping scheme. While Vance focuses on the Chicago doc treating low-income patients, Lauren heads off to meet with Rogers—and vanishes. When the sixth patient dies and the Chicago oncologist is arrested for murder, every cell in Vance’s body tells him he has a lot more to lose than money.

Sick Money: A Whodunnit Sure to Raise Your Blood Pressure

"A captivating destination thriller with all the ingredients for a perfect beach read: betrayal, sex and deadly games on an exotic island." —Bestthrillers

"If you're not reading this series, start!"—Ryan Steck, The Real Book Spy

Vance Courage and Lauren Gold are on route to Paradise Island, Bahamas to gamble when the twin-engine prop plane they’ve chartered is forced to make an emergency landing on a tiny private island. The pilot, a crusty army veteran named Blade, makes a harrowing landing then orders his five passengers to take their baggage and walk to the island’s only resort to wait for the weather to clear. While Vance is away from the table, Lauren sees the plane take off into the sunset, stranding them and two of the three other passengers.

Courage soon realizes his is the only missing baggage. He hurries to the footpath leading to the small runway and finds his belongings strewn on the gravel in the clearing. His duffle bag is turned inside-out, and his passport and gun are gone. Why did they target him and why did Blade take the third passenger, Tonk, with him? Gold and Courage and two young budget-minded travelers from California—C.J. and Chan—are forced to spend the night on the island.

When a personal emergency forces Lauren Gold to return to Miami in the morning, Courage joins C.J. and Chan who’ve mapped out a daring plan to escape the island. Believing they can lead him to the thief, the ex-cop tracks the young couple and soon discovers his gun and passport haven’t fallen into the hands of an ordinary thief. He’s on the trail of a madman.
