Another stand alone by Gerritsen, which was better than the last but not completely impressive. It plays on the conspiracy of hospital patients purposely being put into irreversible comas so that they can sell their organs for extremely high prices on the black market. The main character, young surgical resident Dr. Abby DiMatteo, puts the plot together and ultimately discover that the people she has trusted and learned from are behind the unbelievable acts. DiMatteo also faces many malpractices suits as one donation goes bad and the family is out to get her career. Finally, she finds herself thrown into the mix, about to get her own organs taken because she knows too much. There are also foreign orphans and Russian mobsters added into the plot. Along with doctors who's murders are disguised as suicides. Kind of all over the place, but not too bad of a novel.
