(1996)Another very good medical thriller concerning illegal sale of human organs for transplant. Although the story gets a little far-fetched it does ring true in its theme that some people will do and spend anything to get organs for themselves or loved ones.

La doctora Abby DiMatteo se encuentra ante un duro dilema. Recién ingresada al servicio de transplantes cardíacos del Bayside Hospital de Boston, tiene dos pacientes al borde de la muerte: una mujer acaudalada, Nina Voss, y un adolescente de diecisiete años. Ambos necesitan urgente un transplante de corazón, pero solo hay un donante. Cuando, inesperadamente, aparece otro órgano para la señora Voss, Abby realiza un terrible descubrimiento: ese corazón no llegó por los canales habituales y los registros están falsificados. La joven doctora se lanza a investigar una compleja cadena de engaños y crímenes.

Found this a little boring at the beginning. Had a hard time really getting into this story. By the time I was half way through it became more and more interesting and I can see this actually happening in the world around us ( )

Gerritsen's page turning, debut medical thriller novel had me guessing!

As with other books of Tess Gerritsen, this one had an amazing storyline. At times it was hard to put down, while a few other it was a little slow. It had an unpredictable twist and by the end wanted to find out what happens next in Abby's life! ( )
