Description
A spunky investigative reporter ties a grisly murder to an international organ trafficking conspiracy, but the story may cost her life … and her kidneys.
A renown transplant surgeon unable to find a donor for his own wife
A self-styled investigative reporter with a hunch
A slick entrepreneur with a grandiose scheme to make organ trafficking respectable
A falsely condemned convict offered a reprieve in exchange for donating a kidney
A corrupt cop who considers his shield a license to steal
A cartel enforcer who dispatches his victims with venomous snakes and insects
The lives of desperate people compelled to make ethical, moral and legal compromises
A story that spans the western hemisphere, from the mansions of Beverly Hills to a Surinamese prison to an exotic Haïtian resort
I don't normally give 5 stars, but this one is worthy of it. … I was dying to know how this story would spell out itself. … This book is written very well and I enjoyed the intensity and flow that ensued.

… that is the way Cox unfolds his story - very much like a film. And it works very well. … This is an impressive first novel from a man who knows how to write dialogue and pace an action story framed in the confines of a medical dilemma.
