About this ebook
The bestselling “master of the medical thriller” (The New York Times) delivers a terrifying case of an otherwise healthy woman who dies on the operating table, and the conspiracy surrounding her death that follows...
When a healthy young woman’s routine checkup ends with her seizing in the doctor’s office, Dr. Martin Philips becomes convinced that something is terribly wrong. Why would a 21-year-old woman in peak physical condition die on the operating table—and then have her brain secretly removed?
An inexplicable rash of female patients exhibiting bizarre psychotic and sexual behavior has Dr. Philips very, very concerned—and afraid. Something is wrong in the great medical research center where he and his lover Dr. Denise Sanger work, and they place their careers and very lives in jeopardy as they penetrate the eerie inner sanctums of a medical world gone mad with technological power and the lust for more.

What does a GYN clinic, x-rays of the brain, computers and human test subjects have in common? Read this book and you too will know! It's hard to find a stopping point. Cook did it again but of course he always does! No hunny, the house is not cleaned but it's Cooks fault!!!
