Description
When a surgical operation at a prestigious Boston medical center ends in tragedy, a complex web of questions emerges: Was it a tragic accident, a violation of medical ethics, or deliberate murder? Written in the aftermath of Crichton's own medical internship, this gripping thriller captures the mounting pressure and moral ambiguities of modern medicine, where the line between professional responsibility and criminal intent becomes dangerously blurred. Blending meticulous medical detail with page-turning suspense, the novel explores the ethical dilemmas that haunt the medical profession while delivering a compelling mystery that will keep readers guessing until the final revelation. Supplemented with thought-provoking appendices on medical ethics, this is Crichton at his finest—a powerful examination of how science, duty, and human fallibility collide in the high-stakes world of modern healthcare.
