Summary
New York City medical examiners Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton return in this stunning novel from the “master of the medical thriller” (New York Times)—a ripped-from-the-headlines tale of an innovative doctor’s dangerous downward spiral.

After a rough climb to the top, doctor and businesswoman Angela Dawson appears to have it all: a start-up—Angels Healthcare—that’s about to go public, and a controlling interest in three busy specialist hospitals in New York City as well as plans for others in Miami and Los Angeles. But then a surge of drug-resistant staph infections in all three hospitals devastated her carefully constructed world...

NYC medical examiners Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton are naturally intrigued by the uptick in staph-related post-procedure deaths at these hospitals. Aside from their professional curiosity, there’s a personal stake as well: Jack is facing surgery to repair a torn ACL at Angels Orthopedic Hospital.

Despite Jack’s protests, Laurie can’t help investigating—thus opening a Pandora’s box of corporate intrigue that threatens not just her livelihood, but both of their lives as well.

Good read / listen, one character catches your attention in the beginning, you don't like him, you like him, you don't like him, etc... All the way through, keeps you on the edge all the way through, surprises, & an old favorite just keeps stepping out of frying pan into the fire... Oh my goodness, I had to remember to breath a few times! & as always love the narration!!!

I guess Robin Cook doesn't have an editor because George Guidall who narrated the book calls the main character "Angelo" (insted of "Angela") every other time he says it!! I guess he's not reading the script!! I gave it 2 stars because the story is interesting, but it should be redone with another narrator.
