New York Times Review Things get off to a macabre start in Timothy Sheard's
offbeat procedural... when a student at a Philadelphia teaching hospital
identifies the cadaver she is dissecting in anatomy class as a medical
resident she once slept with. Although hospital administrators are relieved
when a troublesome laundry worker is charged with the murder, outraged staff
members go to their union representative, a scrappy custodian named Lenny
Moss, and ask him to find the real killer.
Since there's no merit to the case against the laundry worker to begin with,
Lenny is just wasting his time. But Sheard, a veteran nurse, makes sure that
readers do not waste theirs. His intimate view of Lenny's world is a gentle
eye-opener into the way a large institution looks from a workingman's
perspective. ''The doctors and the supervisors don't hardly notice us,'' a
nurses' aide says of the orderlies, security guards, secretaries, seamstresses
and other ''invisible'' service workers who keep a hospital humming. ''But we
see everything.'' Marilyn Stasio

Who is that guy with the mop and the attitude - the real Lenny Moss? Many have inquired. Few have
learned his secret. Like Clark Kent, or maybe more like Jimmy Olsen, the man behind the legend is
modest. Self-effacing. As humble as a Benedictine monk, and as heavy a drinker. He's a custodian who
works in a big teaching hospital in Philadelphia. And he's a trouble-maker with a dash of lunacy and
several shots of the absurd. But his feet are firmly on the ground. He knows how the corrupt heart of the
social system can chew up a worker, drive him to drink or despair, or even suicide. It bothers him, and it
makes him angry - the ceaseless injustices; the sleights and humiliations; the put-downs and the
let-downs. The built-in bad deals dealt to blue collar men and women. That is why he fights every day.
A smart guy once said, real heroes go about their work day after day without expecting medals or
parades or comic book depictions. They are the ones who stand shoulder to shoulder with a co-worker, a
friend, a neighbor. They are the ones who say, "Come on, you don't have to put up with that kind of
treatment. Let's deal with it."
The rea-life Lenny Moss never accepts the boss's first offer. He never gives in when a worker is abused.
And when someone comes to him for help, whether it's something that happened on the job or in their
personal life, he does what he can to help. That's the real Lenny.
And that is why he is loved by so many. That is why this author has tried to honor him and all the Lenny
Mosses of the world with a fictional character who can tell his story, because they are true stories of
working men and women.
Long live Lenny Moss!

Here's a page flipper, a murder mystery set in a hospital where the invisible,
everyday workers are the key... We see 'ordinary people take the stage. Think
CSI, but hospital custodians and nurses figure it out, not cops and forsenics.
Lenny Moss, a custodian and union steward, is at the center of the action as he
and his colleagues take on bosses, ambitious doctors amid corporate
downsizing and union busting to figure out who killed a pregnant and beautiful
nurse.
Well-written and very down to earth...Lenny and his friends are just as 'normal'
and quirky as everyone you know and work with. Their practical knowledge,
solidarity and smarts solve this confusing case that leads us down all sorts of
blind paths with lives on the line.
When an arrogant doctor says, "You're not just a simple custodian, are you?",
Lenny replies, " None of us are simple, doc. All of us have talents and resources
you can't spot just by looking at the uniform."
Here's a great read, a complicated mystery, good friends, comradeship in hard
times, and union workers shown in full humanity. -Earl Silbar, former steward,
