Picked up from Molyneux last night. I've previously read this and enjoyed. AliceF read the other copy and didn't.
"In the ER ward of a Boston hospital, a tale of twisted terror lies waiting...
Dr Abby Di Matteo - a second-year surgical student in Boston Bayside's elite cardiac team - is about to make a decision that will jeopardize her career.
A car-crash victim's healthy heart is ready to be harvested, having been cross-matched to a private patient, forty-six-year-old Nina Voss. Instead Abby makes sure the transplant goes to a dying boy, also a perfect match.
The repercussions leave her plagued with self-doubt. Suddenly a new heart appears, and the transplant is completed. Then she makes a terrible discovery: the new heart has not come through the proper channels.
Defying the hospital's demands for silence, Abby begins her own investigation that reveals an intricate and murderous chain of deception..."

Journal Entry 4 by chelseagirl from Faringdon, Oxfordshire United Kingdom on Saturday, March 1, 2008
Love tess gerritsen, can't wait to get into this one! Thanks Beckydore!!
This is apparently Tess Gerritsen's first medical thriller and is a great, if gory, read. It's less subtle than her later books - I guessed the plot fairly early on - but that didn't dent my enjoyment of it, though there was one scene near the end that made my stomach churn!!
Received yestreday. Won in a swap and will be added to the foothills. I haven't read any of this author, but has been recommended to me. We shall see what I think later. Don't hold your breath!
