About this listen

The explosive new thriller from New York Times best-selling author and master of the medical thriller Robin Cook.

Newly minted chief resident at Boston Memorial Hospital Noah Rothauser is swamped in his new position, from managing the surgical schedules to dealing with the fallouts from patient deaths. Known for its medical advances, the famed teaching hospital has fitted several ORs as "hybrid operating rooms of the future" - an improvement that seems positive until an anesthesia error during a routine procedure results in the death of an otherwise healthy man. Noah suspects Dr. William Mason, an egotistical world-class surgeon, of an error during the operation and of tampering with the patient's record afterward. But Mason is quick to blame anesthesiologist, Dr. Ava London.

When more anesthesia-related deaths start to occur, Noah is forced to question all of the residents on his staff, including Ava, and he quickly realizes there's more to her than what he sees. A social-media junkie, Ava has created multiple alternate personas for herself on the Internet. With his own job and credibility now in jeopardy, Noah must decide which doctor is at fault and who he can believe - before any more lives are lost.

Critic reviews

“Tantalizing.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Where Cook shines is in illuminating that combination of impersonal professionalism and potential terror haunting every hospital corridor. A return to form for the master of medical malevolence.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Cook has been cranking out best-selling medical thrillers since the mid-1970s, and he long ago worked out a formula that works for his fans. [Charlatans] is no exception, proving once again that there is comfort and entertainment to be found in the familiar.” (Booklist)

I haven’t enjoyed a Cook Book this much in a long time! Very timely and accurate treatise on medicine as it’s evolving today. We are outpacing medical accepted norms faster than we are developing new paradigms for education and credentialing! Social Media is adding to all the pressures as medicine is happening on the internet everyday without proper oversight and vetting

Robin Cook at his best!

Wow! Started slow with some confusing sidebars along the way. But Cook brought it all together expertly in the end. Cyber bullying. Digital alterations in medical records. FB hacking. False FB accounts. Can doctors really become doctors without going to med school? OR deaths due to questionable circumstances. Just Wow! And it’s all very doable. A must read to get your brain turning.

Unexpected Ending

It was a little tough to get into the story, however sometimes it is about the cadence of the orator. The concept seems predictable but wait, it is 21st Century frightening!

Incredible concept!

Yes

Great story

Wow. What a non-story. Kept waiting on it to develop. The most interesting part about the book was the author’s note at the end.

One suspenseful chapter

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A little heavy on the commentary and such but fun mystery to sort out. Again, worth a listen.

Another good one

Once I got used to the reader it was ok but in all honesty I did find his reading a little slurred .
