The doctors call it Munchausen by proxy, the terrifying disorder that causes parents to induce illness in their own children.
Twenty-one month old Cassie Jones is bright, energetic, the picture of health. Yet her parents rush her to the emergency room night after night with medical symptoms no doctor can explain.
Cassie's parents seem sympathetic and deeply concerned. Her favorite nurse is a model of devotion. Yet when child psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware is called in to investigate, instinct tells him that one of them may be a monster.
Then a physician at the hospital is brutally murdered.
One of my favorite Kellerman novels.
