In this chilling novel from the bestselling “master of the medical thriller” (The New York Times), NYC medical examiners Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton rush to India to help a UCLA student investigating medical tourism—and a sinister global conspiracy.

Devastated by the news that her beloved granmother has died after hip surgery in New Delhi, UCLA medical student Jennifer Hernandez flies to India, desperate for answers. Jennifer’s grandmother appears to be a victim of medical tourism—uninsured first-world citizens traveling to third-world countries for more affordable surgery. With revelations of other unexplained deaths and pressure from Indian hospital officials for a hasty cremation, Jennifer reaches out to her mentor, New York City medical examiner Dr. Laurie Montgomery.

Laurie, along with her husband, Dr. Jack Stapleton, rush to Jennifer’s side, only to discover a sophisticated medical facility with little margin for error. But as the death count grows, so do the questions, leading Laurie and Jennifer to unveil a multilayered conspiracy of global proportions.©2008 Robin Cook; (P)2008 Penguin Genre Fiction Medical & Forensic Mystery Thriller & Suspense Traditional Detectives Fiction Suspense

What the critics say

Praise for Foreign Body:

“Does for hypochondriacs what Ludlum does for paranoiacs... Cook is a master of pacing.”—Raleigh News & Observer

“Interesting characters, plenty of medical background, a fast pace, and increasingly unbelievable events.”—Library Journal

“Cook well knows that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. After all, he’s been coating very serious medical ethics debates in fast, fun, escapist thrillers for more than three decades.”—The News-Press

Having read several paperbacks of R.C.'s , I sadly found this one lacking in every area. Pass on this one as they can only improve from this one.
