Was it murder? Was it horrible botched surgery - accidental malpractice? Was someone in the great Boston medical center violating the Hippocratic oath? No one knows exactly...Only one doctor is willing to push his way through the mysterious maze of hidden medical data and shocking secrets to learn the truth. This explosive medical thriller by the bestselling author of "Disclosure" and "Jurassic Park" is vintage Michael Crichton - with the breathtaking brand of riveting suspense and authentic medical detail that has made him one of today's most fascinating writers.
