With long hours, dueling egos, political and financial finagling, and intricate levels of hospital hierarchy, the medical profession can be challenging. However, Eli Branch had no suspicion that some of the challenges he'd face would involve personal and professional danger. In a new position, Eli quickly discovers that not all of his peers and superiors have his best interests in mind.

After assisting on the surgery of a man he knew when he was a child, Eli finds his attention divided by an unusual but familiar device seen during the surgery, his own research, the beautiful but professional Meg Daily, his suddenly rapidly diminishing professional ambitions and his institution-bound brother. After investigating with Meg some unusual cells found on the device, strange invitations from a wealthy corporation and increasingly threatening events at the hospital, Eli has to discover the connections among situations he had previously assumed were unrelated.

A fast-paced novel, RUPTURE will appeal to those readers with interest in medical intrigue.
