What if the paramedics at your door weren't there to save your life-but to end it?
It's a sunny summer afternoon in Sacramento when an ambulance pulls up to the State Capitol. The call? A possible cardiac episode inside the tax department. Two paramedics rush in, calm, professional, and concerned. Minutes later, a respected employee lies dead in his office-an apparent heart attack caused by a faulty pacemaker.
Or so it seems.
Dr. Jill Quint, forensic pathologist and part-time vintner, is called in by the victim's family for a second opinion. The man was fit, full of plans, and had just bought new hiking boots for an upcoming trip to Yosemite. Something doesn't add up-and Jill's instincts are rarely wrong.
When her autopsy reveals evidence of foul play, Jill teams up with local authorities to track down a killer who may be masquerading as a first responder. With a long list of people who dislike paying taxes and rumors of similar deaths across the state, Jill must follow the evidence before another life is lost.
A TAXING DEATH is book five in the Jill Quint, MD series-a cozy forensic mystery where science meets motive.
