Implant

A Novel

By: F. Paul Wilson

Narrated by: Max Jones

Dr. Duncan Lathram is a brilliant plastic surgeon who recently invented a dissolving implant that allows incisions to heal without scarring. His unparalleled artistry in the operating room is the salvation of all the biggest power players in Washington, DC, whenever they need to be TV ready. Lathram appears to have it all, but something isn’t right....

When young Gina Panzella isn’t hustling as a house doctor at a local community hospital, she assists Dr. Lathram with surgery. She’s known him almost her entire life and respects him deeply, yet there are a few things about him she can’t quite figure out - like why so many of his patients are mysteriously dying.

Overcome with suspicion and fear, Panzella enlists the help of Gerry Canney, a high school classmate now working with the FBI, to dig deep into the doctor’s past. Soon they will discover what Lathram is truly capable of....

Captivating Medical Thriller

The narrator brought this already intriguing book to life. Interesting, easy to follow characters as the discovery and truth unravels.

Clever story

I can’t really say what I like about the story without spoilers. It’s definitely 1995 era and would be different today, but would still hold up. There was good tension and action, with good character development. I liked it very much. I’d love to have a story like this set in current times. It’s crazy how much has changed since 1995.

Enjoyed

The story was interesting. it probably isn't a book I'll listen to again but I'm not sorry for time I spent on it.

Hang in there

The 1st half of this book is a cliché, from arrogant doctors with God complexes that need to use $20 words to show how “smart” they are, to the “beautiful” heroine and her rugged, handsome new FBI flame. If you force yourself to get past the 1st half of the book, you will be surprised.
