Review The master of the medical thriller. Source: New York Times From the Inside Flap Lynn Peirce, a fourth-year medical student at Mason-Dixon University, thinks she has her life figured out. But when her otherwise healthy boyfriend, Carl, is admitted to hospital for routine surgery, Lynn is devastated by his sudden death.Convinced there's more to the story than the authorities are willing to reveal, Lynn searches for evidence of medical malpractice with the help of her lab partner, Michael. What she uncovers, however, is far more disturbing. Hospitals associated with Middleton Healthcare, including the one attached to the university, have unnervingly high rates of unexplained complications and patients contracting serious and terminal illnesses following routine surgery.When Lynn and Michael begin to receive death threats, they realize they must discover the truth, before the shadowy forces behind Middleton Healthcare can put a stop to their efforts once and for all.Praise for Robin Cook'Forensic pathologists and doctors-turned-detectives do battle against epidemics, lethal illness and drug-related deaths, the causes of which are far from natural . . . you'll find yourself completely hooked' Daily Mail'A clever blend of science and fiction frighteningly feasible' The Times See all Product description

Really awful - unfortunately :(
I remembered when I started reading this that the last couple of Robin Cook’s books that I started to read remain unfinished.Whilst they used to be amazing ‘back in the day’ and every one was pretty much an edge of the seat read at some point, I think the last decent one I read was in 1997.For some reason he seems to get bogged down with tiny details that detract from the main storyline, and as such making it a much les compelling read.I’ve always been a total Robin Cook fan but I don’t think I’ll try to read another of his books now. I’d rather remember them as they were :)

Robin Cook brilliance
I've read other books by Robin Cook. I love his medical detail and gripping, edgy writing. He always manages to hold me in suspense, not knowing what is going to unfold on the next page. This book, didn't disappoint. Anyone who loves a medical thriller will enjoy this read.

HOST BY ROBIN COOK
Another wonderful story by the master of medical thrillers. Poses questions about healthcare that all of us should by aware of!! The power of the pharmaceutical industry and just how far people will go to covertly get what they want.

Starting to get back to best
The laser robin cook book was a bit disappointing but this one is starting to get back to what is expected of robin cook , a bit too much technical medical terms but apart from that it kept the mystery going with several unexepected twists
