I really liked this one! It's a classical medical thriller, with lots of mysterious dangerous diseases, many corpses and both charming and wicked doctors :)There is also a bit of romance, and a bit of friendship, and a bit of bitterness regarding the current situation of medical care in the present-...
Enjoyable, gripping, fast-moving medical suspense.
Another enjoyable read with two of my favorite characters from Robin Cook's novels - Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton.
