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 complete. 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 deceptions...

My first Tess Gerritsen and I'm pleased that I bought several others at the same time. Very much enjoyed it.
Picked up from the pile of books at the Edinburgh Book Festival meet-up. I've read a few of Tess Gerritsen's books & look forward to this one.
It's difficult to say much about the book without giving spoilers. Through the medium of a thriller novel Tess Gerritsen looks at the world of organ transplants; the medical staff involved, the donors & their families & the recipients of the organs & the impact on their lives. The power involved of life & death.
This will be going off to cassiopaeia in return for The Tenderness of Wolves from my wishlist. Enjoy!

Thank you scotsbookie, this arrived today. Have just finished another Tess Gerritson 'Stolen'. What I'm beginning to like about her is that she moves around a lot and doesn't stay with a formula. Looking forward to reading it.
Forgive the pun but this was quite a 'heart stopping' read. Enjoyed it very much, I have a few more Tess Gerritsen's around, must get them registered. Thanks scotsbookie, will release this soon, somewhere in Cardiff.
