    About this ebook

    Nathan went in for a routine blood test...

    ...and never left the hospital.

    Trapped and alone, what hope does he have when nobody even knows where to look?

    Prize-winning journalist Elizabeth is in a slump. After taking down the mayor in a career-defining story, nothing else measures up. Desperate for anything she follows a vague lead from a spooked informant to the local hospital.

    Under the guise of a regular story, Elizabeth starts digging for answers. She can sense there's a story, but doesn't know how big it is. Until it's too late.

    A powerful conspiracy is keeping Nathan under their control and his existence a secret. Can Elizabeth uncover the truth and free Nathan? Or will she be silenced forever?

    You'll love this mystery thriller because of the twists and turns, the excitement of piecing together the clues, and the shocking secret behind it all.

      “The Secret Patient” by Vaughan W. Smith is a mystery-adventure novel in which the main character, Elizabeth Edmonds, is a journalist who pieces together a major story through a series of intersecting coincidences. From the beginning, Elizabeth is a serious hard-hitting news journalist eager to uncover a controversial story. Nathan Stenson is a patient at the local hospital who was undergoing treatment for months with no idea what his illness is and without any access to the outside world. Through an informant’s tip and by working on related stories, Elizabeth goes on a hunt to figure out what is being hidden in the hospital.Smith does a great job of weaving the story together through Elizabeth’s various newspaper assignments, allowing the plot to progress naturally. By following the story, Elizabeth meets another patient at the hospital – Dean – who not only becomes a good friend, he is also a driving force to the story and offers a semblance of comedic relief whenever Elizabeth gets too caught up in her own issues.Throughout the book, Smith develops intriguing characters (my favorite being Dean) and crafts a captivating tale with plot twists around every corner. “The Secret Patient” was well-paced until the very end in which once the case was solved, the resolution spun out a bit too quickly but demonstrated exactly where each character ended up.Overall, “The Secret Patient” is a fun, fast-paced book with just enough mystery and adventure to keep you guessing until the final chapter.
