Saving Grace (A & B Crime) (A & B Crime)

Description

"Agency nurse and physiotherapist Grace Gillespie is long overdue for a break. However, she is unable to resist when she is offered work in Scotland nursing a patient recovering from an accident, Stuart Campbell, depute Head of the local high school. He lives near Dornoch, her "home territory" and birthplace. Grace looks forward to being close to family and on familiar ground; taking on the job seems a rather attractive prospect." "But her patient's case is not as straightforward as it seems. Stuart insists that he cannot remember any details about his accident. He was found after he had apparently fallen off the roof of the school during a function there. Grace has plenty of experience of this kind of accident and knows that her patient's injuries don't match up with this version of events - so what is he hiding? And why is he so afraid of being left alone in the house? Spurred by natural curiosity - and a growing but decidedly unprofessional attraction to her patient - Grace is determined to get answers to her questions. But as her investigations go on, it seems someone is desperate to stop her, no matter what it takes."--BOOK JACKET.
