A Death in the Hospital (Euphemia Martins Mystery 15)

"After a crash course in nursing, Euphemia is sent off alone to act as a VAD (Voluntary Aid Detachment) at a Red Cross hospital. Merry accompanies her. Fitzroy wants her to uncover some information that he believes one of the patients from the front is concealing. However, both Merry and Euphemia become caught up in the lives of their patients and the efforts of the Red Cross to prolong life. Euphemia becomes inspired by their neutrality and willingness to help anyone. But then a series of mysterious deaths takes place. Rory arrives as a patient, badly injured. He and Euphemia finally make peace while solving the unexplained demises. Together they also uncover what Fitzroy needs to know, but decide it is an abuse of the principles of the Red Cross to forward the information to anyone. Instead Euphemia tells Fitzroy she has failed in her mission."--Provided by publisher.
