In this new fast-paced medical mystery-thriller from The New York Times
bestselling author Robin Cook, fan favorites Jack and Laurie must
determine the Manner of Death after a pathology resident's suspicious
suicide.
Reeling from a devastating encounter that nearly ended his life, Jack
Stapleton is still in recovery - leaving his wife Laurie Montgomery,
New York’s chief medical examiner, to manage a difficult situation at
home and an even tougher one at work.
When a young man appears on the medical examiner’s table, an apparent
death by suicide, Laurie is compelled to try and understand what
happened. The autopsy reveals the disturbing possibility that foul play
was involved, and provides many more questions than answers.
Ignoring her own professional rules, Laurie personally investigates who
might want the man dead and why. So begins a descent into a dangerous
world filled with ruthless individuals who will do anything to protect
their business interests, and that might just cost Laurie her life . . .
Manner of Death is the fourteenth book in the Jack Stapleton and Laurie
Montgomery series of medical thrillers, following Night Shift.
An ex-Nazi on the run will do whatever it takes to keep his vicious
past from being exposed in this chilling novel of suspense. On the
coast of Central America, an aging man sits down to pen his
memoirs. He begins with his childhood in Vienna, just after World
War I, when his family lived in respectable poverty and his
greatest pleasure was being rocked to sleep in the lap of his
beloved babysitter. It would be a sweet tale if the author could
withhold what comes later . . . but he intends to tell every
horrifying detail of the truth. He's a war criminal, a veteran of
the elite Nazi brigade known as the SS, and he'll write proudly of
every atrocity he can recall. Distracting him from his work is
inquisitive American journalist Kate O'Brien, who has come in
search of a story. When Kate accidentally stumbles upon the old
man's pages, he has no choice but to act, kidnapping her and
locking her in his basement. His latest crime threatening to expose
him, the proud Nazi will come face to face with the horrors of his
past and the blackness of his soul. Impeccably researched and
chillingly believable, The Edit is a truly unique novel of suspense
written by J. Sydney Jones, author of Ruin Value, a groundbreaking
mystery set in the shadow of the Nuremberg Trials. This time, Jones
takes the reader into a truly horrifying place: deep within the
mind of a Nazi.
