I loved this book. Shawn has a talent for taking you into the ambulance with his paramedics and into the medical action. Yet there's so much more going on than an episode of ER. There are struggles with his dad, a mysterious patient, bad times, and much more. Let me just say the pages turned quickly as I followed the struggles and adventures of Jonathan Trestle. And I hit a point a little over halfway through the book where the action was happening so fast, I couldn't put the book down. It's making for a tired Thursday! Great book, with lots of action, great emotional thread, and a hint of romance.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Jonathan Trestle is a paramedic who's spent the week a few steps behind the angel of death. When he responds to a call about a man sprawled on a downtown sidewalk, Trestle isn't about to lose another victim. CPR revives the man long enough for him to hand Trestle a crumpled piece of paper and say, "Give this to Martin," before being taken to the hospital.
The note is a series of dashes and haphazard scribbles. Trestle tries to follow up with the patient later, but at the ICU he learns the man awoke, pulled out his IVs, and vanished, leaving only a single key behind. With the simple decision to honor a dying man's last wish, Jonathan tracks the key to a nearby motel where he finds the man again--this time not just dead but murdered. Unwilling to just let it drop, Jonathan is plunged into a mystery that soon threatens not only his dreams for the future but maybe even his life. He must race for the truth before the Angel of Death comes calling for him.
