Jennifer Hernandez is a fourth-year medical student at UCLA whose world is shattered during an otherwise ordinary day. While half-listening to a news report on medical tourism, where first-world citizens travel to third-world countries for surgery, she hears her beloved grandmother's name mentioned, and her own heart nearly stops: the reporter says Maria Suarez-Hernandez had died, a day after undergoing a hip replacement in New Delhi's Queen Victoria Hospital. Maria raised Jennifer and her brothers from infancy, and their bond was unshakable. Still, the news that Maria had travelled to India is a shock to Jennifer, until she realises it was the only viable option for the hardworking yet uninsured woman. Devastated, Jennifer takes emergency leave from school and heads to India, where relations with local officials go from sympathetic to sour as she presses for information. With the discovery of other unexplained deaths followed by hasty cremations, Jennifer reaches out to her mentor, New York City medical examiner Dr Laurie Montgomery. Laurie, along with her husband, Dr Jack Stapleton, rushes to the younger woman's side. And as the death count grows, so do the questions, leading Laurie and Jennifer to unveil a sinister, multi-layered conspiracy of global proportions.

About the Author:

Robin Cook is the doctor of danger, the original pulse-raising master of the medical thriller. With a scalpel-sharp mind and a background in medicine, Cook stitches together heart-stopping plots where science, ethics, and mystery collide—usually in a hospital with secrets no one wants uncovered.

From Coma to Contagion and beyond, his novels dive into the dark side of the healthcare world—biotech conspiracies, medical malpractice, and terrifying outbreaks that feel way too real. He doesn’t just write thrillers; he diagnoses society's deepest fears about science and medicine, then wraps them in fast-paced fiction that keeps you up at night.

If you love twisty plots, moral gray zones, and stories where the next page might just involve a scalpel and a conspiracy, then Robin Cook is your go-to prescription for a thrilling read.
