What kind of a monster would murder his own sister?

Voncelle Wallace, a recycled physician from a failed medical practice, lands employment at the Cummins-Bratton Surgical Center and continues to battle her demons of regret and might-have-beens.
Her husband, Chuck Wallace, is a high dollar corporate real estate negotiator for the international acquisition of the lucrative Belmont Clinic, a nearby exclusive, multiservice medical and cosmetic treatment facility. The Belmont family of physicians tends to put profits above ethics, and Chuck is not above cooking the books for their advantage and his.
But before the deal can be consummated, a rifle fired from a rooftop puts financial negotiations on hold.
Surgeon Diana Bratton’s effort to avoid the Belmonts and simplify her life is derailed when new patient Roy Garnett checks-in at her office. Roy confides that his mentally troubled nephew has accused him of murdering his mother, Roy’s sister. Suddenly, Donna finds herself again drawn into a tangled web of deceit, high-stakes intrigue, and multiple homicide that this time could involve a friend and colleague.
ROOFTOP is the third suspense thriller in the surgeon Diana Bratton trilogy of novels, which includes WIGGLE ROOM and THE FIVE MANNERS OF DEATH.
