Served to Death
An inmate is dead.
When Assistant Medical Examiner Kenzie Kirsch is called to Green Hollow Women’s Correctional Facility, she expects a difficult but routine death investigation. Twenty-year-old Sephora Brown has been found dead in her cell.
The official story is simple: Sephora was a problem inmate. Difficult. Demanding.
But the body tells a different story, and Kenzie can’t ignore what it is telling her.
Sephora had serious medical needs, and Kenzie soon finds troubling signs that those needs may not have been taken seriously. As she digs through prison records—or what’s left of them—interviews staff and inmates, and follows the evidence from the cell block to the autopsy table, she uncovers a pattern of indifference, missing answers, and dangerous assumptions.
But inside the walls of Green Hollow Detention Center, nothing is what it seems. Identities blur. Loyalties shift. And the line between institutional indifference and deliberate cruelty is razor-thin.
With Christmas approaching and old trauma stirring at home, Kenzie must keep her focus on a case where one young woman’s death may reveal far more than anyone inside the prison wants exposed.
Served to Death is a gripping medical mystery that pulls no punches about the failures of the correctional system, the politics of institutional medicine, and what it really means to fight for justice for the people no one else is fighting for.
Perfect for readers who enjoy forensic mysteries, medical examiner thrillers, and socially conscious, emotionally layered crime fiction.
Step inside the investigation. Read Served to Death today.
