Un nuevo y explosivo libro del autor superventas y maestro de thriller médico Robin Cook. Te subirá la tensión.Hay cosas peores que la muerte...Lynn Peirce, estudiante de cuarto de medicina, cree que ya tiene la vida organizada, pero, cuando su novio Carl entra en el hospital para una sencilla operación de rodilla, todas sus previsiones se vienen abajo. Tras la intervención Carl, hasta entonces sano, no recobra la conciencia y se confirma la muerte cerebral.Desolada por los acontecimientos, Lynn se embarca en la búsqueda de respuestas. Está convencida de que hay algo más que no quieren contarle, así que utiliza los recursos que tiene a su alcance, incluido su compañero de laboratorio Michael Pender, tan reacio a ayudar, para encontrar pruebas de posibles negligencias médicas.Cuando Lynn y Michael reciben amenazas de muerte, saben que tienen entre manos algo mucho peor de lo que habían imaginado y emprenderán una lucha contrarreloj para desenmascarar a los implicados antes de que estos acaben con ellos.La crítica ha dicho...«El maestro del thriller médico.»The New York Times«Fascinante. Este nuevo libro es Robin Cook en su mejor momento.»Suspense Magazine«Absorbente. Cook consigue una vez más hacer comprensible la medicina.»Publishers Weekly«Brutal e intenso... Ningún thriller médico puede ser mejor.»Associated PressENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLynn Peirce, a fourth-year medical student at South Carolina's Mason-Dixon University, thinks she has her life figured out. |

But when her otherwise healthy boyfriend, Carl, enters the hospital for routine surgery, her neatly ordered life is thrown into total chaos. Carl fails to return to consciousness after the procedure, and an MRI confirms brain death.Devastated by Carl's condition, Lynn searches for answers. Convinced there's more to the story than what the authorities are willing to reveal, Lynn uses all her resources at Mason-Dixon--including her initially reluctant lab partner, Michael Pender--to hunt down evidence of medical error or malpractice.When Lynn and Michael begin to receive death threats, they know they're into something bigger than either of them anticipated. They soon enter a desperate race against time for answers before shadowy forces behind Middleton Healthcare and their partner, Sidereal Pharmaceuticals, can put a stop to their efforts once and for all. |
