Last Patient of the Night: An AJ Docker Thriller (An AJ Docker and Banshee Thriller) by Gary Gerlacher

MASH meets Bosch-with a scalpel. When a young woman dies in his ER, emergency physician AJ Docker can't let it go. She arrived beaten. Tortured. Fingertips severed. No name. No ID. Before he could save her, she was gone. In Houston's busiest trauma center, death is part of the job. But this one is different. Hours earlier she was alive, frightened, hiding something. Now she's a Jane Doe in the morgue. The police call it homicide. Docker calls it unfinished business. Partnering with a streetwise cop and K-9 Banshee, Docker steps beyond hospital walls into a criminal underworld more dangerous than anything inside the ER. As the trail winds through tattoo parlors, gang territory, and ruthless operators who silence witnesses, Docker risks his career-and his life-to uncover the truth. Fast-paced and gritty, Last Patient of the Night launches the AJ Docker series with authentic ER drama, sharp humor, and relentless tension. Read more
