The First Lady is in town to dedicate the new Cosmetic Surgery Research Center at Lizzie Borden Memorial Medical Center – but someone is murdering the patients and staff. Is it a case of political intrigue or hospital politics?
Welcome to dedication ceremonies for Lizzie Borden Memorial Medical Center’s new Cosmetic Surgery Research Center. Today’s ceremony will also include a big announcement about Dr. Farley Catheter’s new research discovery: a formula that erases 20 years of aging from the skin. Everyone who’s anyone will be at the ceremony, including: The First Lady, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a football hero, a cosmetics industry mogul, the mayor, and all of the prominent doctors, nurses and staff at Lizzie Borden. And one of them will turn out to be a murderer.
Is it a case of deadly political intrigue, or lethal hospital politics? Keep your eyes and ears open, and see if you can identify tonight’s killer.
