Books like The Death Shift by Peter Elkind


Genene Jones, a registered nurse serving the 3‑11 shift in a Texas pediatric ward, was suspected of a string of infant deaths that baffled medical staff. An internal investigation uncovered evidence that Jones deliberately killed the babies entrusted to her care, committing infanticide and murder while posing as a devoted caregiver. The case, involving multiple felonies, highlights the chilling reality of a nurse who exploited her position to commit cruel crimes, and it explores how she managed to evade detection and resume her nursing duties before her crimes were finally brought to light.
