Patients in Purgatory

Visiting the sick leads a curious clergyman into a web of danger and greed at a secretive nursing home . . . Part of Rev. Oxford Christies duty is to comfort the sick, but the nursing home where he shows up to see a patient feels strange and unsettling. One of the many facilities owned and operated by The Group, Incorporated, brings in profits far exceeding that of the typical nursing homeand some residents seem to have mysteriously disappeared. The states inspection systems are deeply flawed, and Ox is aware that severe, ongoing abuse can easily go unchecked. The corporation soon becomes aware of Christies nosing aroundand orders are given to do whatever is necessary to stop his snooping. Now Ox, aware that hes being watched, is torn between the possible danger to his wife and children and his suspicion that whats happening to helpless patients is far worse than what hes witnessed . . .
