Resumen del Editor

The New York Times-bestselling author and master of the medical thriller returns with another heart-pounding story of medical intrigue.

With her young son's potentially fatal neuroblastoma in complete remission, New York City medical examiner Laurie Montgomery returns to work, only to face the case of her career. The investigation into the death of CIA agent Kevin Markham is a professional challenge—and has Laurie's colleagues wondering if she still has what it takes after so much time away.

Markham's autopsy results are inconclusive, and though it appears he's been poisoned, toxicology fails to corroborate Laurie's suspicions. While her coworkers doubt her assassination theory, her determination wins over her husband, fellow medical examiner Jack Stapleton, and together they discover associations to a large pharmaceutical company and several biomedical start-ups dealing with stem-cell research. Laurie and Jack race to connect the dots before they are consumed in a dangerous game of biotech espionage.

It's a typical Robin Cook novel. Many parts seem to drag and unless I sped read through I missed how one of the characters died. No doubt this is a good audible book

NOT up to par

BUT DOWN THE LINE EXCITING AND INTERESTING. THE FIRST FEW CHAPTER SUCK IN THEIR COMPLEXITY!

Entertaining

I ususally really get into this series and have a difficult time finding stopping points. I was dissappointed with this book in that respect. I'm not a fan of mafia stories, and thier bumbling antics, and founf this book to be more about that than being centered around the Stapeltons. However, this is a good book for a very long plane ride or day at the beach. It IS worth the credit.

First, kill the narrator!

UGH! I agree with the last reviewer. I absolutely hate to be so critical but here goes....
Mr. Guidall is obviously popular with certain authors or whomever makes those choices. Maybe, earlier in his career, he was one of the most talented. However, in my opinion, and it is only My own, he has developed several "quirks" that are audibly distracting and even annoying. He speaks too fast and fails to complete his syllables or words. Frequently he runs out of breath while hurrying through frantic monologue. He speaks like a man who has the heavy tongue/full lips of a generous drinker/eater/smoker(mayby?) with the abundance of adipose tissue that causes extra effort to speak at length. I'm sorry Mr Guidall, this sounds so mean and I really don't mean it that way. What about retirement on the Isle of Capri?

Cure for uninteresting books

This was a very good book. A unidentified man shows up in the morgue. It looks like it was a natural death but Laurie doesn't think so. While she works to find out who he is and what happened to him, there are outsiders that don't want anyone to know about him. It was great going through the things that happen from there. Definitely worth a listen.

Loved this story, my favorite medical examiner and her hubby takes on both the mafia and the yucasa at the same time.

Loved it

Quite enjoyable and gripping story, very well read for Audible listeners. I highly recommend it.

Robin Cook strikes again

Not my favorite but I love Robin Cook’s books. I felt the plot was boring. Somewhat predictable

More mystery and intrigue than medical thriller

Well, it’s not the BEST book I ever read, but it doesn’t deserve all the negative reviews! Without picking apart the nitty-gritty details as to why, simply put I think the medical-thriller fans just don’t like this series because it’s more mystery and intrigue than CSI.

I’ve read lots of Cook Books (ha!) but I don’t recall anything about any of them. I think it’s been easily about 10 years since reading any of his novels aside from books 8, 9 and 10 in this series. I remember thinking at the time that they all starting feeling the same because I read too many in a short period of time… but I think a decade-long break is enough. If for no better reason than curiosity, I’d like go back and read some that are not part of this series.

This being said, so far I like this series and I hope there are more instalments to come. After reading Book 8 I thought it was good but not worth bothering to go back and start reading from Book 1, but now that I have been acquainted with Jack and Laurie I’d like to learn more about their back-story.
