John Lockwood, a young vascular surgeon, moves to California to an
HMO position with his wife Carla and sixteen year old son Tim.
Conflicts of interest inside the HMO are minimized in his mind in
deference to the promising new opportunity.
John soon gets a strong dose of those conflicts, when a patient
dies from needless delay in treatment. Further into the clutches of
the HMO, he is strong-armed into doing human testing of their new
surgical implant. The research goes well, and both his son and
brother receive an implant. But there are unexplained disasters.
The implant seems to virtually stalk a specific group of patients
and kills them. To find the culprits, Carla discovers a crucial
piece of evidence and is kidnapped.
The author takes you behind the scenes to reveal how the experts
handle such dire disasters.
When the cause of the disasters is found, it is suddenly a race
against time and the elements to stop the next one. Can John save
his own son? It's a close call that takes him to a small hospital
in snow country, before this hair raising thriller comes to a photo
finish between death and Dr. Lockwood, a race too close to call
until the last chapter, where another life is grasped from the jaws
of death in this medical mystery.
