As she is held hostage, the case unravels when she looks into the cold eyes of the person that assisted this killing machine to freedom. While the police desperately search for the good doctor, Ellen learns more and more about the killer who holds her life in his hands.

Griff Wooden is an intelligent, handsome doctor with a commanding presence who practices cardiology in the oldest hospital in Chicago. Formerly a mental institution, the old building that houses Chicago General Mercy Hospital seems out of place in the middle of a new, glitzy medical plaza. But despite taking pride in providing a warm environment for its patients, the hospital hides a dark secret. Behind its sterilized walls, a psychopath is hard at work.

Every day, lives are saved with the help of a miracle drug that prevents heart attacks. Unfortunately, the drug also comes with a lethal side effect—erratic, uncontrollable bleeding. Meanwhile, a psychopath secretly maneuvers within the hospital to get what he wants, even if it means harming innocent patients. But when the identity of the lunatic is revealed, Dr. Wooden is unwittingly intertwined in a global foray that soon unveils a carefully spun web of deception, drug snatching, and death.

Every mad man in advertising will “kill” to win the huge US Army recruitment account. A Trace of Red is the story of how one of them, an ex-MI officer, gets the chance to do exactly that.

“A narrative of substance and profound humanity, written in prose unobtrusively graceful. (A Trace of Red) is, in every sense, an exceptionally fine novel.”
