Book Synopsis



El nuevo e intrigante libro del maestro del thriller médico.

La pareja de médicos forenses formada por Laurie Montgomery y Jack Stapleton se enfrenta a un peligroso desafío.

Cuando la autopsia de un hombre aparentemente víctima de suicidio plantea más preguntas que respuestas, Laurie Montgomery, la médica forense jefa de la ciudad de Nueva York, junto con Ryan Sullivan, el joven médico en prácticas en su departamento, deciden comparar e investigar una serie de suicidios recientes cuyas autopsias habían revelado señales de alerta y posibles indicios criminales.

Sus investigaciones les conducirán a una compañía de diagnóstico de cáncer que promueve una innovadora y fraudulenta tecnología de detección de la enfermedad, y se verán arrastrados a una conspiración que pondrá en peligro sus vidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this fast-paced medical mystery-thriller from New York Times bestselling author Robin Cook, fan favorites Jack and Laurie must determine the manner of death after a pathology resident's suspicious suicide.

Due to Jack Stapleton's ongoing recovery from his near-death confrontation with a serial killer, his wife, Laurie Montgomery, the NYC chief medical examiner, is carrying the load both at work and at home. When she insists an underperforming pathology resident named Ryan Sullivan assist her on a suicide autopsy, Laurie unknowingly provokes an emotional storm in the trainee.

So, when Ryan himself appears on the medical examiner's table days later, an apparent death by suicide, Laurie's guilt compels her to try to understand why. Jack's autopsy on the resident opens the disturbing possibility that the manner of death wasn't suicide but instead a staged homicide. But staged by whom?

Laurie ignores her own professional rules and responsibilities to investigate personally who might want Ryan dead...and for what reason. Thus begins a dangerous inquiry into a fraudulent but highly lucrative cancer diagnostics company, which might just cost Laurie her life.
