The Death Shift

In "The Death Shift," Peter Elkind recounts the chilling true story of Genene Jones, a Texas nurse who killed infants in her care during the early 1980s while working in a pediatric ICU. As unexpected emergencies and deaths soared during her shifts, the hospital's cover-up allowed her horrifying actions to go unchecked for years. This updated edition explores the recent developments in the case, including new murder charges and the relentless efforts of prosecutors to keep Jones behind bars despite her impending release. Elkind's investigation not only illuminates the tragic impact on families but also the systemic failures that enabled her criminal spree.
