Synopsis
As she has skillfully done in her past novels Speak No Evil and Angel of Death, Rochelle Krich adeptly tackles another timely and ohen heated controversial issue, fertility procedures, within the framework of a twisting plot--in this her most heart-pounding and suspenseful novel to date. Scandal has shaken the life and career of Dr. Lisa Brockman, a staff physician at the prestigious Los Angeles fertility clinic that has come under fire for alleged egg switching. She is further rocked by the murder of a young egg donor, and by the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Matthew Gordon, the clinic's founder and Lisa's fiance.

Review
There's plenty of good suspense and a lot of understandable science in veteran mystery writer Rochelle Krich's Fertile Ground, set in a high-profile Los Angeles fertility clinic. Dr. Lisa Brockman knows firsthand how hard it is to become pregnant, so she has dedicated her career to helping other women conceive. The fact that her work verges on the controversial--paying young women to be egg donors-- moves quickly to the foreground when one of them is murdered. Then Brockman's fianceé, who founded the clinic, disappears, and a media scandal about switched embryos threatens to destroy her life. There's more than a touch of Faye Kellerman in the book's religious overtones, but Krich has her own way of moving the story along at a ferocious clip while making moral points. Other Krich creations available in paperback include Angel of Death and Speak No Evil.
