Synopsis:
Alex Delaware nimbly executes tricky steps of his own when called in to consult on the mysterious ailments afflicting a baby being seen at his training hospital in Los Angeles.
In his seventh appearance, Delaware is in top form, carefully pursuing the possibility that 21-month-old Cassie Jones may be the victim of Munchausen’s Disease by Proxy, a complex syndrome in which a parent, usually the mother, secretly causes the symptoms that endanger the child.
That Cassie is the only grandchild of the hospital’s new CEO, a corporate hotshot who has demoralized the staff with cutbacks and a new administration of ”paramilitary types,” adds political twists to the case’s knotty psychological aspects.
After a doctor involved in computer research is murdered in the hospital parking lot, Delaware calls on his friend Milo, a gay LAPD homicide cop currently serving as an input clerk. They link an earlier murder to the hospital and then key into a secret federal investigation, all the while trying to keep Cassie safe.
