A series of unexplained deaths in foreign hospitals
sends an idealistic UCLA medical student on a desperate
search for answers, in this chilling tale from the master
of the medical thriller.
Jennifer Hernandez is
a fourth-year medical student at UCLA, just completing an
elective in general surgery, whose world is shattered
during a break in an otherwise ordinary day. While
relaxing in the surgical lounge of L.A.?s Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center, she half-listens to a piece on medical
tourism, where first-world citizens travel to third-world
countries for surgery. But when she hears her beloved
grandmother?s name mentioned, her own heart nearly stops:
the CNN reporter says Maria Suarez-Hernandez had died, a
day after undergoing a hip replacement in New Delhi?s
Queen Victoria Hospital.
Maria had raised Jennifer
and her brothers from infancy, and their bond was
unshakable. Still, the news that Maria had traveled to
India was a shock to Jennifer, until she realized that it
was the only viable option for the hardworking yet
uninsured woman. Devastated, and desperate for answers,
Jennifer takes emergency leave from school and heads to
India, where relations with local officials go from
sympathetic to sour as she presses for more information.
With the discovery of other unexplained deaths followed by
hasty cremations, Jennifer reaches out to her mentor, New
York City medical examiner Dr. Laurie Montgomery, who has
her own deep connection to Maria.
Laurie, along
with her husband, Dr. Jack Stapleton, rushes to the
younger woman?s side, discovering a sophisticated medical
facility with little margin for error. As the death count
grows, so do the questions, leading Laurie and Jennifer to
unveil a sinister, multilayered conspiracy of global
proportions.
