Publisher's summary

In this exhilarating new medical thriller by bestselling author Robin Cook, fan favorites Jack and Laurie are lured into the dark underbelly of hospital dangers when an internist dies mysteriously.

Colleagues-turned-spouses Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton already have their plates full with demanding forensic pathology work and family pressures. The last thing they need is the sudden death of a colleague. Yet when Laurie’s apparently vital and healthy longtime friend Dr. Sue Passero dies mysteriously in the hospital parking garage, an autopsy is required, and it falls uncomfortably under Laurie’s purview as the chief medical examiner. So when Laurie asks Jack to take special care with the case, he can hardly refuse.

With his curiosity sparked by an inconclusive autopsy, the indefatigable Jack is compelled to resolve the case at hand, and sets out to investigate on-site at Manhattan Memorial Hospital, even though it means blatantly defying the Office of Chief Medical Examiner’s rules. What started out as an inquiry into Sue’s tragic passing soon turns into a deadly and dangerous chess game between Jack and the clever and deranged killer, who might just administer another lethal blow if Jack isn’t careful.

Are you vaccinated and boosted?

The dialogue was stilted. But what was really annoying was the constant referencing to being vaccinated and boosted and the implication that anyone who wasn’t would spread the virus. How about a novel about funding research in a virology lab, leaking the virus, big pharma, and payoffs.

Predictable, same storyline

I have been looking forward to this new release but was disappointed by the predictability and similar storyline to previous books. I was also surprised at a few medically inaccurate details. Overall the book was well read and the characters are always great, but overall the book was just ok.

Exceptional cliff hanger for Jack and Lori

Robin Cook has hit another one out of the park. CME Lori and ME Jack are solving cases like always but this one is an action thriller! Couldn’t put it down.

Exceptional Medical thriller

This book was awesome, as all Robin Cooks books are! I really enjoyed how the Robin gave a glimpse into the killers mind and particularly his demented reasoning for his killing. I enjoyed it immensely!!
