The Edan Sze Mystery series is a companion series to the Hope Sze Medical Mysteries, featuring Hope’s brother Edan. The Red Rock Killer (2024) is the most recent standalone entry.
Code Blues: When Medicine Becomes Murder (2011) launched the series with a hospital-based mystery, and later books like Stockholm Syndrome expand the scope to international settings. The medical angle runs through each book, reflecting Melissa Yi’s background as a physician. Readers familiar with the Hope Sze books will recognize the family connections, though the Edan stories stand on their own.
Yi writes under both Melissa Yi and Melissa Yuan-Innes, and her medical knowledge gives the mysteries a level of clinical detail that sets them apart from typical crime fiction. The series has been published over more than a decade, with gaps between some entries as Yi balanced writing with her medical career.
