Book description
Dr Abby DiMatteo - a second-year surgical student in Boston Bayside's
elite cardiac team - is about to make a decision that will jeopardize
her career.
A car-crash victim's healthy heart is ready to be harvested, having
been cross-matched to a private patient, forty-six year-old Nina Voss.
Instead Abby makes sure the transplant goes to a dying
seventeen-year-old boy who is also a perfect match.
The repercussions leave her plagued with self-doubt. Suddenly a new
heart appears, and the transplant is completed - but Abby makes a
terrible discovery. The new heart has not come through the right channels.
Defying the hospital's demands for silence, Abby begins her own
investigation that reveals an intricate and murderous chain of
deceptions ...
Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician, and she
brings to her novels her first-hand knowledge of emergency and autopsy
rooms. But her interests span far more than medical topics. As an
anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued
centuries-old human remains, and she continues to travel the world
driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural
phenomena. She lives with her husband in Maine.
