"In The Name Of Compassion" is a gripping tale of a nurse who takes it upon herself to ease the pain of terminally ill patients by ending their lives. Working in a hospital emergency room, she witnesses firsthand the agony and suffering that patients go through and feels that she can no longer stand by and watch them suffer. As she becomes more and more embroiled in her own moral conflict, she takes increasingly desperate measures to justify her actions, even as her colleagues and the authorities begin to suspect that something is amiss. Told from multiple perspectives, including the nurse's own, the novel explores themes of morality, the right to die, and the power of compassion. Will the nurse be able to continue down her path of "mercy killing," or will she be stopped before it's too late?
