Publisher Description
Imagine: you're critically injured in a horrible accident. Rushed to the emergency room, you're fighting for your life. But once you're there, no one tries to help you. Instead, you're locked in a dark room with rows of comatose patients; just lying there—not dying, but not living either …
Imagine: you're a promising young doctor at New York's most prestigious hospital. You're there to save lives, but you soon find out that the hospital is run on greed and malice, rather than compassion. Horrific human experiments are taking place. People are being robbed of vital fluids. And for some reason, no one seems concerned with healing the sick …
Here is a horrifying medical thriller with a premise so plausible you'll think twice about entering another hospital. Master of medical suspense David Shobin, bestselling author of The Center and The Unborn, has done it again—he's crafted a chilling tale so rich with intrigue, action, and excitement, you won't put it down until the last heart-pounding page.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Curious things are happening at New York's Metropolitan Hospital Center: fat mice are learning to run the equipment and dubious research is being conducted on brain trauma patients. As the hospital death rate rises, Todd Langford, M.D., and pretty med student Jordan Parker-Ross--a patient being treated for a head injury--begin to investigate. Jordan proves particularly helpful when she mysteriously gains the ability to sense when people are lying. The duo soon discovers a Mob link through patient Salvatore Aiello, as Dr. Langford races to restore his rapidly deteriorating mind. While Shobin (The Center) creates believable atmosphere, readers may find that his medical jargon hinders the pace of his thriller.
