A donor heart leads to the trail of a chilling crime. Assistant doctor Abby DiMatteo is beside herself: After being offered one of the coveted positions on the transplantation team at Bayside Hospital in Boston, she encounters questionable hospital politics during her first surgery. One of the rare donor hearts is supposed to go to the not-so-terminally ill wife of the extremely wealthy Victor Voss. Abby becomes suspicious and begins her own investigations, unaware of whom she is making an enemy - and the dark source from which this heart originates. For even more nail-biting suspense from the pen of thriller queen Tess Gerritsen, also read "Spy Coast - The Spy" or the cases of Detective Jane Rizzoli and pathologist Maura Isles.
