The blockbuster bestseller that kickstarted a new genre--the
medical thriller--is now available in trade paperback for the first
time.
They called it "minor surgery," but Nancy Greenly, Sean Berman and
a dozen others--all admitted to Boston Memorial Hospital for
routine procedures--were victims of the same inexplicable, hideous
tragedy on the operating table. They never woke up.
Susan Wheeler is a third-year medical student working as a trainee
at Boston Memorial Hospital. Two patients during her residency
mysteriously go into comas immediately after their operations due
to complications from anesthesia. Susan begins to investigate the
causes behind both of these alarming comas and discovers the oxygen
line in Operating Room 8 has been tampered with to induce carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Then Susan discovers the evil nature of the Jefferson Institute, an
intensive care facility where patients are suspended from the
ceiling and kept alive until they can be harvested for healthy
organs. Is she a participant in--or a victim of--a large-scale
black market dealing in human organs?
