As a result she finds herself, her mother, and her own sanity at risk.

"Very competent medical thriller. The pace is brisk. The plot is quite tight. The mood is a little too oppressive as the heroine is dealt blow after blow after blow. Think Fugitive with more medical/technical detail and a female hero. "

— Laylah (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Grabs you and holds you from page one…Be prepared to drop all your obligations until you finished.” 

    — John Saul
  • “A satisfyingly nefarious scheme, some tentative romance, and enough medical rushing-about to satisfy hardcore ER fans add up to a lively ride.”

    " This was one of her first books written and the last one I read so it wasn't as gripping as her later ones. A good read, but I could definitely tell what was going to happen before it did. "
