Gina Mazzio Medical Thrillers #4-6
Bone Set II
Murder, mayhem, and Mazzio continue at lightning speed in this second set of three Bone Series Medical Thrillers from the Lambs.
RN Gina Mazzio is sometimes battered, but never daunted in her life-threatening pursuit of individuals and groups who would do harm to her patients and co-workers.
This action-packed, shocking, and take-no-prisoners medical thriller series is definitely not for the faint of heart. Fans of the more hard-boiled medical thrillers (and also of Patricia Cornwell) will eat it up ... as will lovers of, strong women sleuths, hospital mysteries, and all medical fiction, especially fans of Tess Gerritsen, Carolyn McCray, Eileen Dreyer, Lisa Genova, and Robin Cook.
BONE of CONTENTION (#4)
Gina returns to Ridgewood Hospital after a near-death experience while working with fiancé Harry Lucke as travel nurses in Nevada’s barren gold country. Now, she’s assigned to the Ob/Gyn Women's Health Clinic.
An outbreak of mystifying post-abortion deaths among Clinic patients puts Gina on the trail of unknown perpetrators. Her relentless investigation soon makes her the target of a fanatical couple who kidnap and attempt to kill her to keep from being found out.
BONE DUST (#5)
An influenza epidemic slams San Francisco, pushing medical facilities to and beyond normal limits. The chaos masks deadly blood-letting by a sociopathic hospital phlebotomist.
Gina, distracted by a serious breakup with her longtime fiancé, Harry Lucke, and on the brink of a new romance, misreads the full danger of a stalking that leads to the murder of another Internal Medicine nurse.
Gina’s investigation into the killing of the nurse, along with trying to find out why flu patients are dying unexpectedly, makes her the new prime target of the phlebotomist stalker.

About the author
Bette Golden Lamb
19 books26 followersBette was a nurse, a writer, and an artist. Her art work has appeared in numerous show and is held in many private collections.
Bette was from the Bronx, and she said that growing up in New York City coupled with being an RN was a clue as to why she loved to write dark and gritty medical thrillers. A Marin county writer and artist, she and JJ spent some time in the wilds of Virginia City, Nevada, an isolated throwback to the old West, where she was a trauma nurse while her husband was the editor of the The Territorial Enterprise, a newspaper Mark Twain once ran.
Bette and J. J. Lamb have written novels that include a female serial killer who thinks she’s on a noble mission to save barren women from a life of despair (Sisters in Silence) and the Gina Mazzio RN medical thriller “Bone” series (Bone Dry, Sin & Bone, Bone Pit, Bone of Contention, Bone Dust, Bone Crack, Bone Slice, Bone Point). She said that writing about Gina Mazzio and her boyfriend, Harry, also an RN, was a fun experience, as well as a privilege to write about people who dedicate their lives to helping others.
Bette's most recent novel The Russian Girl was based on a true story of a woman who escapes from a high security nursing home during the hottest day of the year. Her delirium reveals a harrowing story of a young immigrant Russian girl forced to come to America in the early 1900s. Her turbulent life is filled with upheaval, lost love, and activism in a crushing, brutal 20th century journey.
Bette was encouraging to and supportive of new writers and artists.

Great Read
I couldn’t get enough of Gina and Harry. I love this series, the medical aspect is on point.
Now with Vince and Helen added to the mix it is even better.
I love Gina’s personality, I love the way Harry stands with her. Add in Mulzini and other recurring characters,and you have a good story. I can’t wait to buy 7 and 8.

Bone-chilling mysteries
Gene finds herself in the middle of more medical mysteries that could lead to her death. Very scary and thought-provoking books. Will Gina and Harry ever get married, if she can stay out of trouble?

Great read. This book was as good as the first three. Like to see more on these characters as they make the story come alive some how.
