For Dr. Abby DiMatteo, the long road to Boston’s Bayside
Hospital has been anything but easy. Now, immersed in the
grinding fatigue of her second year as a surgical
resident, she’s elated when the hospital’s elite cardiac
transplant team taps her as a potential recruit.
But Abby soon makes an anguished, crucial decision that
jeopardizes her entire career. A car crash victim’s
healthy heart is ready to be harvested; it is immediately
cross-matched to a wealthy private patient, Nina Voss.
Abby hatches a bold plan to make sure that the transplant
goes instead to a dying seventeen-year-old boy who is also
a perfect match.
The repercussions are powerful and swift and Abby is
shaken but unrepentant—until she meets the frail,
tormented Nina. Then a new heart for Nina Voss suddenly
appears, her transplant is completed, and Abby makes a
terrible discovery: Nina’s heart has not come through the
proper channels.
Defying Bayside Hospital’s demands for silence, Abby
plunges into an investigation that reveals an intricate,
and murderous, chain of deceptions. Every move Abby makes
spawns a vicious backlash and, in a ship anchored in the
stagnant waters of Boston Harbor, a final, grisly
discovery lies waiting…
