KILLING THE BLOOD CLEANER IBD

Sinopse

In Killing The Blood Cleaner, Dr. Jack Randolph has a golden and riotous existence as a young society doctor in Atlanta. His world is filled with sensuous women, private clubs and all the entitlements accorded to Atlanta's elite. Such privilege turns his discreetly required resignation from the Centers for Disease Control into an opportunity for entry into a lucrative private medical practice. Jack looks forward to his upcoming trip to the luxurious Cloister Hotel on Sea Island, Georgia with his lithe fiancé, Annabelle. On the Coast, two women have beautiful dreams of a more glorious existence. Cindy Jessup understands Jack's world and craves to be released from the web of murder, lies and corruption which is her daily life in her work with Sheriff Roger Odum. Her real desire is to somehow find a way to be a lady in Atlanta and Jack could be that ticket.

Over the years, Judge Valentino has issued Orders that govern every aspect of the operation of the prison. The Orders are so detailed and the Judge's supervision so strict that hardly anything is done by the Warden or other staff without consulting the Orders or the Judge himself. The Orders are very specific on the use of force on an inmate to obtain blood samples after a sexual crime has been committed. The prison is also required to issue detailed reports as to such uses of force and to maintain a sophisticated video monitoring system should claims of excessive force arise. Sheriff Odum and his second in command, Major Knowles are aware of Cindy's betrayal of their organization but have little time to act. However, thanks to the largesse of the Federal government as a result of the Sheriff's political power, they have access to an array of sophisticated military intelligence devices centered in a secluded compound on a tidal river. It would be useful to dispose of Cindy in a way that even Judge Valentino and Fitz Davis would have to admit the overwhelming evidence of pure accident caused by an o
