Body of Work

Body of Work - An Eric Hoffer Award, Gold Medal
Finalist - Best Fiction, & A #1 Bestselling Medical Thriller
A biotech empire guards a secret no one is meant to uncover. It’s that death is no longer the end.
Olivia is a wife and young mother raising twins on a quiet rural farm. Seemingly far from the danger and unaware of it, she feels safe in her pastoral world, but she is wrong. An unexpected connection draws her into Haloderm, a biomedical company advancing robotic surgery, AI-driven diagnostics, organ reuse, and deep space travel medicine.
Publicly, it saves lives. Privately, human cadavers are cataloged, barcoded, valued, and sold. Olivia checked the organ donor box years ago. It felt simple. generous. Now she understands what that signature meant. Once a body enters the system, it never leaves.
Blending medical innovation with artificial intelligence and corporate power, Body of Work is more than a thriller.
For readers of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Robin Cook’s Coma, it's a thought-provoking speculative thriller that asks the hard questions about technology, medicine, and what it means to be human.
Readers say it changed how they think about consent, ownership, and the systems they trust. Publisher’s Weekly gave it an “A” and praised its extraordinarily gripping narrative and surprise ending.
After this novel, you may never look at modern medicine or your own body the same way again.
