Synopsis
« Le maître du thriller médical en pleine forme. »
Publishers Weekly
Un homme de 28 ans victime d'une fracture de la jambe ; une femme de 36 ans souffrant d'une rupture de ligament.
Morts dans les 24 heures.
Terreur à l'Hôpital général de Manhattan : des patients pour la plupart jeunes et en bonne santé meurent sans raison apparente après une intervention bénigne.
Laurie Montgomery et Jack Stapleton, les deux enquêteurs médicaux de Vector, privilégient vite la piste d'un serial killer médical. Le médecin en chef de l'hôpital, qui s'est pris d'amitié pour Laurie et a appris qu'elle est porteuse d'un marqueur génétique du cancer du sein, insiste pour l'opérer. Mais ne risque-t-elle pas ainsi de devenir la prochaine victime ?
Une fois encore, Cook mêle science et suspense en un thriller aussi criant de vérité que la une d'un magazine d'actualité.

Softcover. Condition: Fair. Wasserschaden / Verschmutzung; Leichte Abnutzungen. The master of the medical thriller returns with his latest heart-pounding drama Twenty-eight-year-old Sean McGillin seems the picture of youthful good health, until he fractures a leg while skating in New York City's Central Park. Nothing life-threatening, yet within twenty-four hours of his surgical treatment he is dead. Next, a thirty-six-year-old mother, Darlene Morgan receives minor knee surgery to repair a torn ligament - and within twenty-four hours she too has died. New York City medical examiners Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton appear again in Robin Cook's electrifying twenty-fifth novel, as they confront a series of puzzling hospital deaths of young and healthy patients after undergoing successful treatment. Despite resistance from her superiors, Laurie doggedly pursues the investigation. Though it seems impossible to determine why and how these patients are dying, she comes to realise that not only are the fatalities somehow related - they're cold-bloodedly intentional. Can it be that Laurie has stumbled upon the trail of a remarkably clever serial killer - one with a very unusual motive and with disturbing ties to both medical research and the cut and thrust of modern health care? As Laurie's personal life continues to unravel disastrously, the need for answers becomes ever more urgent. Seller Inventory # a949ef25-c8a4-4b2e-8f53-dd5f2ef173e2
