"The master of the medical thriller returns with his most
heart-pounding tale yet. Twenty-eight-year-old Sean
McGillin is the picture of health, until he fractures his
leg while in-line skating in New York City's Central Park.
Within twenty-four hours of his surgery, he dies. A thirty-
six-year-old mother, Darlene Morgan, has knee surgery to
repair a torn ligament in her knee. And within twenty-four
hours, she has died. New York City medical examiners Dr.
Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton are back, in
Robin Cook's electrifying twenty-fifth novel. Last seen in
Vector, the doctors confront a series of puzzling hospital
deaths of young, healthy people after successful routine
surgery. Despite institutional resistance from her
superiors, as well as from those at Manhattan General,
Laurie doggedly pursues the investigation. Though it seems
impossible to determine why and how the patients are
dying, she comes to suspect that not only are the deaths
related-they're intentional, suggesting the work of a
remarkably clever serial killer with a very unusual
motive, involving frightening ties to both developing
genomic medicine and the economics of modern-day health
care. Then Laurie is dealt a double blow: While coping
with Jack's inability to commit to their relationship, she
discovers she carries a genetic marker for a breast-cancer
gene. As her personal life continues to unravel, the need
for answers becomes more urgent, especially when Laurie is
pulled into the nightmare as a potential victim herself.
With time winding down, she and Jack race to connect the
dots-and save Laurie's life. With his signature blend of
suspense and science, Robin Cook delivers an
electrifying page-turner as vivid as today's headlines."
