Publisher's Summary

In this psychological thriller, a missing patient raises concerns in a New York hospital, but as others start disappearing, every dark possibility becomes more and more likely.

To Senior Midwife Lucy Ryuan, pregnancy is not an unusual condition - it's her life's work. But when two kidnappings and a vicious stabbing happen on her watch in a university hospital in Manhattan, her focus abruptly changes. Something has to be done, and Lucy is fearless enough to try.

Rumors begin to swirl, blaming everyone from the Russian Mafia to an underground adoption network. Lucy teams up with a skeptical NYPD detective to solve the case, but the truth is far more twisted than a feisty single mom could ever have imagined.

Do not buy this book

Plot is terrible
I used to love James Patterson but it appears his multiple co authoring has finally caught up to him- too bad. I should have returned.

Not one of Patterson's best.

This started okay, but failed to capture my interest. Definitely struggled to finish this one.

Obnoxious

I found the heroine obnoxious,egotistical,and annoying .
Who is that opinionated and self righteous in real life without being considered mentally unstable.
The story was also too far fetched and boring.
Disappointing for a James Patterson book.

Don't!!!!

I have read about 25 books stamped with James Patterson's blessing and have enjoyed almost everyone. This one was the exception. At no point do you warm up to the main character nor do you have enough insight into the babies and their families to care. Lucy, the lead character gripes and moans about everything, wishes she knew more than everyone else and is just a miserable person. This book does not deserve to be associated with James Patterson.

Disappointed

Predictable, unrealistic and boring

James Patterson needs an experienced investigator to guide him for one. I know this is a fiction but still needs to be somewhat realistic.

Still can’t figure out the tie in to the title.
