Publisher Description
In this chilling novel from the bestselling “master of the medical thriller” (The New York Times), NYC medical examiners Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton rush to India to help a UCLA student investigating medical tourism—and a sinister global conspiracy.
Devastated by the news that her beloved granmother has died after hip surgery in New Delhi, UCLA medical student Jennifer Hernandez flies to India, desperate for answers. Jennifer’s grandmother appears to be a victim of medical tourism—uninsured first-world citizens traveling to third-world countries for more affordable surgery. With revelations of other unexplained deaths and pressure from Indian hospital officials for a hasty cremation, Jennifer reaches out to her mentor, New York City medical examiner Dr. Laurie Montgomery.
Laurie, along with her husband, Dr. Jack Stapleton, rush to Jennifer’s side, only to discover a sophisticated medical facility with little margin for error. But as the death count grows, so do the questions, leading Laurie and Jennifer to unveil a multilayered conspiracy of global proportions.
Customer Reviews
One of the best!
Foreign Body may very well be one of the best works of Robin Cook.
Disappointed
I've read several Robin Cook books. This was not the best and actually, considering the very amateurish writing, I question if he wrote it. Story was OK. He certainly wants us to know he's visited India and that's fine.
Foreign Bidy
I have to rate this book 5 stars. Dr. Robin Cook had done it again! He is the master of Medical mysteries. The stories is mystifying, exciting scenes, good twists at the end. I love it.
