Synopsis
A 28-year-old man seems the picture of health, until he fractures his leg while skating in New York’s Central Park. Within twenty-four hours of his surgical treatment he is dead. Next, a 36-year-old mother has knee surgery to repair a torn ligament in her knee - and within twenty-four hours she too has died.
Confronted with a series of puzzling deaths of young, healthy patients after routine treatment, medical examiners Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton begin to investigate. Up against resistance from her superiors, and also coping with a personal life that continues to fragment, precipitated by Jack's inability to commit to their relationship, Laurie's need for answers becomes even more urgent. Could all these deaths be intentional? With time winding down, she and Jack embark on a race to connect the dots.

The master of the medical thriller returns with his latest heart-pounding drama Twenty-eight-year-old Sean McGillin seems the picture of youthful good health, until he fractures a leg while skating in New York City's Central Park. Nothing life-threatening, yet within twenty-four hours of his surgical treatment he is dead. Next, a thirty-six-year-old mother, Darlene Morgan receives minor knee surgery to repair a torn ligament - and within twenty-four hours she too has died. New York City medical examiners Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton appear again in Robin Cook's electrifying twenty-fifth novel, as they confront a series of puzzling hospital deaths of young and healthy patients after undergoing successful treatment. Despite resistance from her superiors, Laurie doggedly pursues the investigation. Though it seems impossible to determine why and how these patients are dying, she comes to realise that not only are the fatalities somehow related - they're cold-bloodedly intentional. Can it be that Laurie has stumbled upon the trail of a remarkably clever serial killer - one with a very unusual motive and with disturbing ties to both medical research and the cut and thrust of modern health care? As Laurie's personal life continues to unravel disastrously, the need for answers becomes ever more urgent. Seller Inventory # 58deadca-545d-409b-a18f-d32d949e7be8
